Hello,
Try this

Code:

ifconfig <interface> plumb x.x.x.x/x up

Now this is not a permanent fix. The server will revert back to the old IP address after a reboot. To prevent this perform the steps below.

Code:

echo x.x.x.x/x >  /etc/hostname.<interface>

Add the Ip address and hostname to the /etc/hosts file.

You may need to restart the networking service. Use this command to restart the service instead of restarting the server.

Code:

svcadm restart network/physical

I hope this helps.

first we need chk interface name by using #dladm show dev

Good Idea coolboys.
But you have a typo.

Code:

dladm show-dev

thanks for your replay
it works.
