Solaris 10 - Console login problem

Gurus, please share your expertise:

Sun V490, solaris 10, interfaces are ce0, 1, 2, 3. We use ce0 and ce3 for ipmp and virtual ip.

Networking team decided to use 802.1q trunking and we have to rename the interfaces to reflect the vlan id.

We do this by:

1. Modify /etc/hosts to reflect new interface names (ce0 to ce2000 and ce3 to ce2003)
2. Rename interfaces files (/etc/hostname.ce0 and ce3 to /etc/hostname.ce2000 and ce2003)
3. Edit /etc/hostname.ce2000 and /etc/hostname.ce2003 file to reflect the name of new interface name (lucas-ce0-ipmp to lucas-ce2000-ipmp and so)
4. Reboot

After I reboot the server, it boots fine without much fuss and gives me a login prompt through console. At console, when I try to login using a local/NIS user id, it just hangs after taking the password. I can't login
remotely (telnet/ssh) as well (no prompt at all). Physical IPs for both interfaces and virtual IP - all pings. The only way I can access the system is through single user mode.

If I revert back the changes and network team reverts their port settings to bring it back to original configuration, I can login without any problem. Any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks

Ketan
