Software Only Multiple IP Support Setup - Sun/Solaris

For organizations using Sun or Solaris, use the following procedure for each IP address that your organization is using with Multiple IP Support for Web Access Management.

1. Log in as superuser and edit the /etc/hostname.<device>:<alias number> file where <device> is the name of the device. Create a file for each system IP address alias.
   
   Add a hostname alias. For example:
   
   vi /etc/hostname.hme0:1
   
   Add:
   
   alias1
   
   Save and quit.
2. While logged in as superuser, edit the /etc/hosts file and add an IP address and alias for every IP entry intended for proxy rewrite. For example:
   
   12.34.56.71 alias1
   12.34.56.72 alias2
   ...
   
   Save and quit.
3. Run ifconfig <device> plumb on the command line. For example:
   
   ifconfig hme0 plumb
4. Run ifconfig again to configure each new aliases with the IP addresses. Use this command structure:
   
   ifconfig <device>:<alias number><IP address> up
   
   For example:
   
   ifconfig hme0:1 12.34.56.71 up

To test the setup, telnet to each IP address entered in the /etc/hosts file.
