[SunHELP] configuring 2 nic on one system

[sunhelp at sunhelp.org]

1. Create a new file by name /etc/hostname.elx0
2. Enter the ip-address or hostname in the file  created above
3. Append the /etc/hosts file with the corresponding hostname/ip-address of
the new card.
4. Reboot the box and hopefully everything will be fine .

Hi

Not sure about x86 version of Solaris, but in Sparc version you would have
to

ifconfig <interface> plumb

to bring it into the system even if it had seen it during boot up.

no both of the cards were installed before

card to configure...
