try "ifconfig -a", this will tell you the ones that are plumbed.

Hi.

You can try to make a RC for plumb interfases or
make a manual configuration

* /etc/hostname.interface = inside interfase name
* /etc/hosts = ip and alias
* etc/netmask = the mask address

if you are on solaris 10 try:

"dladm show-link"

This will show you both plumbed and unplumbed interfaces
Code:
# prtconf -D | grep network
        network, instance #0 (driver name: bge)
        network, instance #1 (driver name: bge)
        network, instance #2 (driver name: bge)
        network, instance #3 (driver name: bge)

Cheers,
ZB
