That is the expected behavior. You need to configure the OS to add these interfaces.
Code:
ifconfig -a plumb
ifconfig -a

Then create /etc/hostname.xxx for each interface you want to be plumbed at next boot, each file containing the required IP address. xxx being the interface name (eg. qfe0, qfe1, ...)

Why to plumb every interface when you can plumb just a new one ?

Using dladm command you can see all NIC -s in your box

Code:
su
dladm show-link

then check with ifconfig command which interfaces are configured, and then from above list od dladm command plumb new interface

Code:
ifconfig <target NIC> plumb

and then NIC will be configured with DHCP if you have one on your network.Smilie

Beyond the fact it's Solaris 9 so dladm isn't available as DukeNuke2 already point out, what's wrong with plumbing all interfaces ?

This is incorrect. The interface doesn't automagically configure itself with DHCP. Moreover, it will will be lost at next reboot if nothing is done to avoid that ...

How can I find which NIC is used to talk to a given host (except traceroute)

Hi all, I'm having some trouble identifying what route is being used to talk to a target host.
