Enabling the Adapter
To enable the adapter, enter the following:
# ifconfig IPaddress broadcast broadcastaddress netmask netmaskvalue
For other systems to see the new address, you must enter the new hosts addresses in
DNS or in host files or NIS as required for your system.
For details, see the operating-system specific documentation about networking.
Verifying that the Adapter is Properly Configured and Enabled
IRIX Adapter Configuration Verification
To verify that the network interface is configured properly and is enabled on, enter
the following on an IRIX system:
irix% /usr/etc/netstat -ia
Columns with the following headings should appear:
Name Mtu Network Address
In the Name column, the xg number should appear. If it is followed by an asterisk
(*), the interface is disabled.
In the Mtu column, the size of the current maximum transmission unit (MTU) should
appear. The MTU size is set via the -mtu switch of the ifconfig command. If no
size is specified by the -mtu switch, the adapter defaults to an MTU size of 1500.
In the Network column, the IP network address should appear.
In the Address column, the canonical MAC address of the adapter should appear,
which looks similar to the following:
08:00:69:0b:e0:41
12 007–4669–003
