3. Execute prtconf to determine instance number of the NIC.

4. ifconfig bcme[instance_number] plumb

5. ifconfig bcme[instance_number] ip_address netmask....

To make these changes permanent, follow these steps:

1. Use a text editor (e.g., vi) and create a file named

hostname.bcme[instance_number] in the /etc directory. Add the IP address of

the interface to this file, then save and exit.

2. Add a proper subnet mask to the file /etc/netmasks.

In Solaris 7.0 (Intel platform), the operating system only allocates 36 pages of 4K

physically contiguous memory. The driver needs about 130K of physically contiguous

memory per NIC. In order to use more than one NIC the O/S has to allocate more

memory. This can be done by setting an O/S system variable "lomempages" in /etc/

system. For instance, when 4 NICs are installed in a Solaris 7 system, the physically

contiguous memory is calculated as follows:

4 NICs * 130K = 520 K ==> 130 pages of 4K is required.
