DLP-G42 Set Up a Solaris Workstation for a Craft Connection to an ONS 15454
Step 1 Log into the workstation as the root user.
Step 2 Check to see if the interface is plumbed by typing:
# ifconfig device 
For example:
# ifconfig hme1
• If the interface is plumbed, a message similar to the following appears:
hme1:flags=1000842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4>mtu 1500 index 2 inet 
0.0.0.0 netmask 0
If a message similar to this one appears, go to Step 4.
• If the interface is not plumbed, a message similar to the following appears: 
ifconfig: status: SIOCGLIFFLAGS: hme1: no such interface. 
If a message similar to this one appears, go to Step 3.
Step 3 Plumb the interface by typing:
# ifconfig device plumb 
For example: 
# ifconfig hme1 plumb
Step 4 Configure the IP address on the interface by typing:
# ifconfig interface ip-address netmask netmask up
For example: 
# ifconfig hme0 192.1.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
Note Enter an IP address that is identical to the ONS 15454 IP address except for the last octet. The 
last octet must be 1 or 3 through 254.
