This section describes how to configure the network host files after you install the hxge driver on your system.
# grep hxge /etc/path_to_inst "/pci@7c,0/pci10de,5d@e/pci108e,aaaa@0" 0 "hxge"
In this example, the device instance is from a Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized Multi-Fabric 10GbE Network Express Module installed in the chassis. The instance number is shown in italics in this example.
Use the ifconfig command to assign an IP address to the network interface. Type the following at the command line, replacing ip-address with the NEM’s IP address:
# ifconfig hxge0 plumb ip-address netmask netmask-address broadcast + up
Refer to the ifconfig(1M) man page and the Solaris documentation for more information.
To use the NEM’s hxge interface in the Step 1 example, create an /etc/hostname.hxgex file, where x is the number of the hxge interface. If the instance number were 1, the filename would be /etc/hostname.hxge1.
Follow these guidelines for the host name:
The following example shows the /etc/hostname.hxgenumber file required for a system named zardoz-c10-bl1.
# cat /etc/hostname.hxge0 zardoz-c10-bl1
For example:
# cat /etc/hosts # # Internet host table # 127.0.0.1 localhost 129.168.1.29 zardoz-c10-bl1
