close, but not quite right.  the :3 here refers to an aliased IP on the 
interface.

if the first two ports of the qfe are in use, then he should be using qfe2 as
his ethernet device.  (the four are numbered qfe0-qfe3)

the bare minimum that needs to be done to get this thing working is:

ifconfig qfe2 plumb
ifconfig qfe2 <ip address> netmask <netmask> up

to get it to come up at bootup, add the IP address and hostname to /etc/hosts
and put the hostname in /etc/hostname.qfe2
