Changing Network Interface hme1 to hme0
I have sun solaris 9 installed but I have the interface configured to hme1 instead of hme0, our default value.
Is there a way where i can rename the existing/working hme1 to hme0...?
I want to showup the hmeo up if i say ifconfig -a..
rite now i see the hme1 up..
please advice if possible...

Presumably your machine has two ethernet ports and you want to use the other ethernet port?

As an example, I have a SPARCstation which has both le0 and le1. le0 was configured by the OS install but I wanted to use le1.

All I needed to do was rename /etc/hostname.le0 to /etc/hostname.le1 and reboot.

If this is the scenario, then renaming /etc/hostname.hme1 to /etc/hostname.hme0 and rebooting should do the trick.

It would, though the reboot can be avoided by using ifconfig.
