I have Sun ULtra2, 2x168MHz and OS is Solaris 2.5.1.
I have one build in 10Mbps interface card. "/etc/hostname.hme0"
But now I have new FastEthernet 10/100 card. I want to add
in my system.
I don"t know any file to config and set IP that
system will know new FastEthernet card and have 2 IP
address. (IP from old and new interface card)
Please let me know more detail how to add and set IP.
thank you very much.
regards.
Pom.

To add a SECOND interface, you need to install it and do a boot -r.
Then you need to plumb and then enable the interface. Something like:

# ifconfig hme1 plumb
# ifconfig hme1 <new_ip_address> netmask <your_netmask> broadcast + up

substituting real numbers where appropriate, of course.

man ifconfig for all the gory details.

/etc/hostname.hme1 and /etc/hostname.hme1:0

"man ifconfig" and search for "logical interfaces"

a. You have to use boot -r to get the system to recognize it.

b. Does the Ultra 2 have a local-mac-address setting at the "ok" prompt?
Do a printenv, and see. If it does, then set that value to true.

c. You have to add an IP address and name for the new interface in
/etc/hosts.

d. Your first interface has the name in a file called
/etc/hostname.AAA0, where "AAA" depends on what card it is. (That's the
same name as in /etc/hosts.) You have to create another, similar, file
for the new interface, that contains the name you assigned to the new
interface (in step c). If you installed a different kind of interface,
then the "AAA" will be different. If you installed the same kind, then
"AAA" will be the same but the last character will be a "1" instead of a
zero.

For step "d" you're probably going to have to check out the
documentation for the interface card, and read a few "man" pages... (My
explanation above is kind of crappy. Correct, but crappy.)
