Network Configuration
This chapter describes how to edit the network host files after the adapter has been
installed on your system. This chapter contains the following sections:

Configuring the Network Host Files
After installing the driver software, you must create a
hostname.ce
number file for
the adapter’s Ethernet interface. You must also create both an IP address and a host
name for its Ethernet interface in the
/etc/hosts
file.
1. At the command line, use the
grep
command to search the
/etc/path_to_inst
file for
ce
interfaces.
In this example, the device instance is from a Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter
installed in slot 1. For clarity, the instance number is in bold italics.
Be sure to write down your device path and instance, which in the example is
“/pci@1f,0/pci@1/network@4” 0
. Your device path and instance will be similar.
You need this information to make changes to the
ce.conf
file. See “Setting
2. Use the
ifconfig
command to set up the adapter’s
ce
interface.
# grep ce /etc/path_to_inst
"/pci@8,600000/network@1" 0 "ce"
