I'm trying to configure a Sun Ultra 80 running Solaris 8 with multiple NICS. hme0 has an ip address of 192.168.1.2/24. I installed a second nic and ran the following:
ifconfig hme1 plumb
ifconfig hme1 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
This worked great, however upon reboot, system did not retain configuration. Found out that I need to edit the following files:
Distribution: Solaris 11.4, Oracle Linux, Mint, Debian/WSL

Rep:
There should be more than one hostname if you want more than one IP address !
Otherwise, only the first line matching a given hostname is used to pick the IP address.
If you enter the same name in hostname.hme0 and hostname.hme1, how could they have different IP addresses ...
You can either give different hostnames or directly enter different IP address instead of a name in these files, and it should work.
