Plump up bge2 on SunFire 240

Dear managers,

I am trying to plump up third ethernet interface of a SunFire 240R
without rebooting the machine. I have created /etc/hostname.bge2, made
an entry in /etc/hosts and added the netmask in /etc/netmasks. I am now
trying

ifconfig bge2

        or

  ifconfig bge2 up

and always get

ifconfig: status: SIOCGLIFFLAGS: bge2: no such interface

What am I missing? Thanks a lot!

Regards,

   Andreas

BTW: There is no cable plugged into the ethernet port yet. Is this
important?
