manually typing "ifconfig bge3 up" etc is a temporary configuring of the interface and it wont survive a reboot.

If you want to easilly configure your interface automatically on reboot do something like

Edit the following file (where bge3 is the interface you are configuring)
vi /etc/hostname.bge3

Add the host alias for the IP to be configured
eg. server_int4

Of course server_int4 must be in the /etc/inet/hosts file for you to do this. Alternatively you could just put the IP address in there. But its good practice to use hostnames.

You should also put an entry in the /etc/inet/netmasks file that has the network and subnet in it.

If you want to create a default route then you should put a host alias for the defaultrouter in /etc/defaultrouter file.

Im afraid that static routes will require you put the "route add" command in a startup script.
