Use ifconfig:
ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
bge0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 192.168.10.8 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.10.255
ether 0:14:4f:e:87:a4
bash-3.00# ifconfig bge0:1 plumb
bash-3.00# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
bge0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 192.168.10.8 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.10.255
ether 0:14:4f:e:87:a4
bge0:1: flags=1000842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0



Now you can change with ifconfig the ip netmask and set the bge0:1 UP
Thats all!
Best regards joerg
