MANAGING ETHERNET INTERFACES IN SOLARIS
Each Solaris Server or Workstation has one or more Ethernet interfaces. Solaris provides commands to manage Ethernet interfaces. These commands enable you to list the installed interfaces, create logical interfaces, configure interfaces, and make interfaces UP and DOWN.

You can list the installed interfaces in a Solaris Server or Workstation in two simple ways. The first way is to use the netstat command. The second way is to use the ifconfig command. The ifconfig command is as follows:
# ifconfig -a lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 hme0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu ...Get Solaris™ 8 Network Administrator Certification Training Guide now with the O’Reilly learning platform.
