I have an Netra-T1 that's been running fine for awhile on a single dmfe0
network interface.
I want to add a second interface for a backup network.
# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
dmfe0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
        inet 172.31.32.7 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.31.32.255
        ether 0:3:ba:5:3a:58

# ifconfig dmfe1 172.31.34.7
ifconfig: SIOCGLIFNETMASK: dmfe1: no such interface

I created /etc/hostname.dmfe1, and updated /etc/netmasks.
This is the first time I've had to add an additional network interface to a
Solaris box.
I'm working I can use "ifconfig" without rebooting.
