[Sunhelp] Adding an interface on a qfe card

[Kalusniak, Jeff]

Is this a brand new card and you have two others operational, or are you
just wanting to activate the 3rd port on a qfe card that has two others
already operational?

If two other ports on that qfe card are already operational, you would need
to:

Create /etc/hostname.qfe1:3   (hostname on first line)

Add entries in /etc/hosts and networks (if so desired)

ifconfig qfe1:3 ipadress [netmask?] [broadcast?] up

SUN Sparc 5
Solaris 2.6

I have a qfe card installed with 2 interfaces already operational.  I need
to add a third.  I have outlined the steps below that I think I need to
take.  Can you please take a look and let me know if I have excluded any
needed steps to make this new interface operational ?

Create /etc/hostname.qfe1     1 line = <interface name>

Add entry in /etc/hosts       <IP address>	<interface name>

Add entry in /etc/netmasks	<network>	<netmask>

Run these commands:         ifconfig qfe1 plumb
			          ifconfig qfe1 up


Thanks,

Duke Glover
