Displaying the IP Address
The ifconfig -a command displays the current configuration for the network interfaces.

Introducing IPv4 Interface Files
Network interfaces in the Solaris OS are controlled by files and services.
• The svc:/network/physical:default service
• The /etc/hostname.xxn file
• The /etc/inet/hosts file
• The /etc/inet/ipnodes file
The /etc/hostname.xxn File Entries and Corresponding Interfaces
Changing the System Host Name
The host name of a system is contained in four files on the system. You must modify all of these files, and perform a reboot, to successfully change a system’s host name.
• The /etc/nodename file • The /etc/hostname.xxn file
• The /etc/inet/hosts file • The /etc/inet/ipnodes file
The sys-unconfigCommand
