Dear Sun-Managers,
it was again this list that helped me out of a problem. Great!

Special thanks to Richard C. Mills <rmills@ccd.harris.com>,
who sent me a ksh-script to fix the problem (script is added to end
of this summary).
The solution
============
To install an additional Ethernet interface (let's call it le1):
1) create /etc/hostname.le1 that contains the host name
2) make the interface known to the system:
ifconfig le1 plumb
(this is the part I neglected before)
3) configure the interface:
ifconfig le1 up <ip-nbr> netmask + broadcast +
4) test the connection
The script (by Richard C. Mills)
================================
---BEGIN---
#!/bin/ksh
#
# Purpose: Configure ethernet card.
#
# get hostname
echo "Which ethernet interface [le0 or le1] ?"
read interface
echo "Enter hostname for $interface [default `uname -n`]:"
read host_name
echo "Enter I.P. address for $interface : "
read ipaddress
if [ -z "$host_name" ];then
host_name=`uname -n`
fi
echo $host_name > /etc/hostname.$interface
# plumb - Open the device associated with the interface name and setup the
# streams needed for TCP/IP to use the device. Before this is done the
# interface will not show up in the output of ifconfig -a.
ifconfig $interface plumb
# configure ethernet card
ifconfig $interface up $ipaddress netmask + broadcast +
---END---
The original question
=====================
Dear Sun-Managers,
the scenario is a SS10 under Solaris 2.3 with two Ethernet interfaces.
The first interface (le0) is configured via default settings
(/etc/rc2.d/S...) at boot time.
Now I have to configure the second interface such that it is able to
communicate over a (physically) separate Ether-net.
Could please anybody tell me what changes/settings I have to make ?
