qfe0, qfe1, qfe2, and qfe3, you would type:
Refer to the ifconfig(1M) man page and the Solaris documentation for more
information about this command.
4. Disconnect and unconfigure the adapter from the system using the appropriate
basic hot-swap command.
The command and usage may be unique to different systems, so refer to your

The following example is for a Netra ct series system with a Sun Quad FastEthernet

5. To make the adapter’s network interfaces use the local MAC addresses, connect
and configure the adapter to the system using the appropriate basic hot-swap
command.
The command and usage may be unique to different systems, so refer to your
system’s service manual for the appropriate procedure.
The following example is for a Netra ct series system with a Sun Quad FastEthernet
adapter installed in the second CompactPCI slot (with the pci_pci0:cpci_slot2
attachment point ID):
