New NIC card install ?

Hello,

I have installed on a blade 2000 another PCI
FastEthernet Card (PCI 1 slot). Which is hme0 and the default NIC with the
system is eri0.

I did the normal stuff:
shutdown your machine
power off
install card
power up
Hit "Stop"-A
Type 'boot -r' at the 'ok' prompt
made an hostname.hme0
added that host to the host file, etc:

192.168.1.20 foo
192.168.2.20 foo-1

then:
ifconfig hme0 down
ifconfig hme0 plumb
ifconfig hme0 inet XX.XX.XX.XX netmask XX.XX.XX.XX brocadcast XX.XX.XX.XX
(XX.XX.XX.XX represents your entries)
ifconfig hme0 up
ifconfig -a

The two questions I have are:
1. My ether address is the same on both cards??
That makes now sense to me? Any thoughts?

# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
eri0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
        inet xxx.xxx.xxx.113 netmask ffffff00 broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.255
        ether 0:3:ba:18:d:72
hme0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 3
        inet xxx.xxx.xxx.65 netmask ffffffe0 broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.95
        ether 0:3:ba:18:d:72
#

# netstat -i
Name Mtu Net/Dest Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Collis Queue

lo0 8232 loopback localhost 419 0 419 0 0 0
 
eri0 1500 xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx 0 0 0 0 9 0
 
hme0 1500 xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx 0 0 0 0 0 0
 
#

2. The final question is I want to change the brodcast on my main eri0 card.
But no matter what I tell it to brodcast it keeps showing:

broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.255

Any example/ideas would be great. Thanks

RM
