Chapter 5 Configuring Network Interfaces 97
The eri and ge device drivers for the system’s on-board Ethernet interfaces are
automatically configured during Solaris installation. For information about
operating characteristics and configuration parameters for these drivers, refer to the
following documents:
■ Platform Notes: The eri FastEthernet Device Driver
■ Platform Notes: The Sun GigabitEthernet Device Driver
These documents are available with your Solaris software and online at
http://docs.sun.com, under Solaris on Sun Hardware. Refer also to the Sun
Fire V890 Server Product Notes for late-breaking information.
Note – The Sun Fire V890 system conforms to the Ethernet 10/100BASE-T standard,
which states that the Ethernet 10BASE-T link integrity test function should always
be enabled on both the host system and the Ethernet hub. If you have problems
establishing a connection between this system and your Ethernet hub, verify that the
hub also has the link test function enabled. Consult the manual provided with your
hub for more information about the link integrity test function.
