[SunHELP] How to Install 2nd NIC and assign IP to it

[Warren Brennan]

The installation and configuration of the second NIC is actually quite
simple. You simply put the NIC into the system, boot up and do the
following:

1) create a /etc/hostname.hme1 (assuming this is hme, and not qfe (quad fast
ethernet) and insert a hostname
2) modify the /etc/hosts file and insert the hostname used above and the IP
address
3) modify /etc/netmasks to insert the new netmask

You can only assign one default gateway (/etc/defaultrouter) to the system.
If you need another gateway, you would need to insert a line into the
inetsvc RC script to run the route command.

Cheers,

Warren
