Use this procedure to configure the network host files dynamically on the command line. At reboot, the settings will revert.
Create a file named /etc/hostname.ixgbe# for each ixgbe interface.
where # is the ixgbe interface instance number you plan to use.
For example, to bring up ixgbe0 at boot, create a file called /etc/hostname.ixgbe0, where 0 is the number of the ixgbe interface. If the instance number were 1, the filename would be /etc/hostname.ixgbe1. The /etc/hostname.ixgbe# file must contain the host name for the appropriate ixgbe interface.
Get the ixgbe instances:
# dladm show-dev
The output might include lines similar to the following:
ixgbe0 link: up speed: 10000 Mbps duplex: full nge0 link: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full nge1 link: down speed: 0 Mbps duplex: unknown ixgbe1 link: up speed: 10000 Mbps duplex: full ixgbe2 link: up speed: 10000 Mbps duplex: full
Use the ifconfig command to set up the adapter’s ixgbe interfaces.
Your ifconfig command might look similar to the following:
# ifconfig ixgbe0 plumb ip_address netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + up
