How to Start a Network Interface Manually

Use this procedure when you want to plumb IPFC with specific netmask values and get the IPFC interface up and running.

1. Become an administrator.
2. Configure the appropriate network interface.

   Ask your network administrator for an appropriate IP address and netmask information. For example, to enable an IPFC interface associated with fp instance 0 and an IP address of 192.168.201.10, type:

   # ipadm create-ip fcip0
   # ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.201.10 fcip0/ipv4

   For more information, see ipadm(1M).

3. Confirm that the network is operational.

   # ipadm show-if
