12 Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI Adapter Installation and User’s Guide • August 1997
1. At the command line, use the grep command to search the /etc/path_to_inst
file for qfe devices.
In the example above, the four SUNW,qfe@x,1 instances are from a Sun Quad
FastEthernet PCI adapter installed in slot 2. For clarity, the instance numbers are
bold.
2. Create an /etc/hostname.qfe<num> file, where <num> corresponds to the
instance number of each interface you plan to use.
If you wanted to use all of the adapter’s interfaces in Step 1’s example, you would
need to create four files:
■ Do not create /etc/hostname.qfe<num> files for Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI
adapter channels you plan to leave unused.
■ The /etc/hostname.qfe<num> file must contain the hostname for the
appropriate network interface.
■ The host name should have an IP address and should be entered in the
/etc/hosts file.
■ The host name should be different from any other host name of any other
interface, for example: /etc/hostname.hme0 and /etc/hostname.qfe2
cannot share the same host name.
# grep qfe /etc/path_to_inst
