SUMMARY : Unable to bring up eri1 interface on a 280R

Happy New Year Everybody !!!

First, it was my mistake, I posted the wrong syntax of the "ifconfig"
command that I used, the output actually was

# ifconfig eri1 plumb
ifconfig: SIOCSLIFNAME for ip: eri1: no such interface

Now upon further investigation, as one of the group members pointed out, I 
realised the second interface that I was trying to use was on a quad card 
(qfe0) on the PCI card, and NOT eri1 !!!

# grep eri /etc/path_to_inst
"/pci@8,700000/ebus@5/serial@1,400000" 0 "se"
"/pci@8,700000/network@5,1" 0 "eri"

# grep qfe /etc/path_to_inst
"/pci@8,700000/pci@1/SUNW,qfe@1,1" 5 "qfe"
"/pci@8,700000/pci@1/SUNW,qfe@0,1" 4 "qfe"
"/pci@8,700000/pci@1/SUNW,qfe@3,1" 7 "qfe"
"/pci@8,700000/pci@1/SUNW,qfe@2,1" 6 "qfe"
"/pci@8,600000/pci@1/SUNW,qfe@0,1" 0 "qfe"
"/pci@8,600000/pci@1/SUNW,qfe@1,1" 1 "qfe"
"/pci@8,600000/pci@1/SUNW,qfe@2,1" 2 "qfe"
"/pci@8,600000/pci@1/SUNW,qfe@3,1" 3 "qfe"

# ifconfig qfe0 plumb <ip_address> up
worked and the 2nd interface is up now.

Thanks to all of you who responded. This is indeed a great group! :o)

Seasons Greetings !

I am trying to bring up the second interface on a 280R system running Sol8
and get this output ..

$ ifconfig plumb eri1
ifconfig: eri1: bad address

$ dmesg |grep eri1

ifconfig -a lists only lo0: and eri0: (the primary eri0 interface is up
and works fine).

Thoughts ?

Chitta
