Any standard network commands can be used after IPFC is attached. There are no usage differences when commands such as ping or ftp are used in an Ethernet setup. This section describes how to configure and use the IPFC instances.
Use this procedure to configure an IPFC interface using the instance number N determined in the previous section. The configuration operation takes immediate effect and persists across reboots. This procedure assumes that the instance is 2.

Ask your network administrator for an appropriate IP address and netmask information. The following example enables an IPFC interface associated with fp instance 2 and an IP address of 192.0.2.1.
# ipadm create-ip fcip2 # ipadm create-addr -a local=192.0.2.10/24 fcip2/example
For more information, see the ipadm(1M) man page.
Use the ipadm command to verify the configuration operation succeeded.
