Dear managers,
thanks to
Gary Chambers <gwc@ll.mit.edu>
Crist Clark <crist.clark@globalstar.com>
"Girguis, Ashraf" <Ashraf.Girguis@constellation.com>
and at least 10 more guys. This list really rocks. The correct approach
was
devfsadm
ifconfig bg2 plumb up
ifconfig bge2 217.172.45.220 netmask 255.255.255.248 broadcast
217.172.45.223 up
I found that the order of netmask and broadcast is important.
ifconfig bge2 217.172.45.220 broadcast 217.172.45.223 netmask
255.255.255.248 up
did not work for me
