Solaris 10 question on ifconfig

On prior versions to solaris 10 when I want to add/change the IP address of an interface I will use this command.

ifconfig eri0 down
ifconfig eri0 192.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.xxx.xxx.xxx up

then change /etc/hosts so that /etc/hostname.eri0 picks up on the correct IP.



I strange thing is on solaris 10 when I change the IP address inside /etc/hosts and reboot, when the system comes up it still reverts back to the old IP address.

Even after I unplumb and plumb several times and each time reboot, the IP address still reflects the old IP address.

is there something I didn't do? Smilie

NAME
face - executable for the Framed Access Command Environment Interface SYNOPSIS
face [-i init_file] [-c command_file] [-a alias_file] [filename...] DESCRIPTION
The Framed Access Command Environment Interface (FACE) presents your files and file folders on the screen through a system of menus and forms if you are properly set up as a FACE user. filename must follow the naming convention Menu.xxx for a menu, Form.xxx for a form, and Text.xxx for a text file, where xxx is any string that conforms to the UNIX system file naming conventions. The Form and Menu Language Interpreter (FMLI) descriptor lifetime will be ignored for all frames opened by argument to face. These frames have a lifetime of immortal by default. If filename is not specified on the command line, the FACE Menu will be opened along with those objects specified by the LOGINWIN environment variables. These variables are found in the user's .environ file. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -a alias_file Alias file -c command_file Command file -i init_file Initial file OPERANDS
The following operand is supported: filename The full pathname of the file describing the object to be opened initially. EXIT STATUS
The face command will return a non-zero exit value if the user is not properly set up as a FACE user. FILES
