Dear managers, thanks to Gary Chambers <gwc@ll.mit.edu> Crist Clark <crist.clark@globalstar.com> "Girguis, Ashraf" <Ashraf.Girguis@constellation.com> and at least 10 more guys. This list really rocks. The correct approach was devfsadm ifconfig bg2 plumb up ifconfig bge2 217.172.45.220 netmask 255.255.255.248 broadcast 217.172.45.223 up I found that the order of netmask and broadcast is important. ifconfig bge2 217.172.45.220 broadcast 217.172.45.223 netmask 255.255.255.248 up did not work for me Original question: ================= > I am trying to plump up third ethernet interface of a SunFire 240R > without rebooting the machine.
