Insert virtual IP addres to a server in Solaris

Question

How will you insert a virtual IP address to a server in Solaris. Given the interface qe0 & IP 10.10.1.150

Answer 1

Syntax:

#ifconfig qe0:1 plumb

# ifconfig qe0:1 10.10.1.150 up

where "qe0" is an interface (for example: le0) and N refer to a number between 1 and <MAX>. Removing the pseudo interface and related address is done along with "ifconfig qe0:1 10.10.1.150 down".

As along with physical interfaces, all you have to do is make the appropriate /etc/hostname.qe0:X file.
