Under Solaris 10, there is no /etc/init.d/inetsvc network script
anymore. You must use the new SMF to manage your network services, even
special initialization ones. In order to plumb and up a new logical
interface, you can now use the service instance named
svc:/network/physical:default.
Here is quick example on how to use it:
# ifconfig -au4
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
nge0: flags=201004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 192.168.1.101 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 0:e0:81:58:88:ae
#
# cat /etc/hostname.nge0:1
192.168.1.50
#
# svcadm restart network/physical
#
# ifconfig -au4
