Problem using 1 Gb ethernet card between 2 SunFire

Bonjour,

I have a problem configuring my network.

I have two hosts "mega" and "watt". Each host is a SunFire-V880
with two ethernets cards each. One card is an "eri0", the second
card is "ge0". The "ge0" card is not yet configured: this is my
question.

Each host run Solaris 9 s9_58shwpl3 SPARC (MU1 applied).

Host "mega" is on network xxx.xxx.100.
Host "watt" is on network xxx.xxx.110.

The networks are working BUT, I want to inter-connect those two
hosts with the 1 Gb ethernet "ge0" card (optical). So I want to
use the 1Gb card to connect togheter those two hosts and by the
way those two networks too.

So, I plug an optical fiber between those two hosts. The send
optico-cable is already plugged in the received end and the same
thing apply on the other cable.

Can you help me configuring thoses interfaces (ge0)?

On mega:
        hostname.eri0: mega # Working at 10 Mb on network xxx.xxx.100
        hostname6.eri0: <empty>
        hostname6.ge0: <empty>
On watt:
        hostname.eri0: watt # Working at 10 Mb on network xxx.xxx.110
        hostname6.eri0: <empty>
        hostname6.ge0: <empty>

What did I must put on the files: /etc/hostname.ge0 /etc/hosts...
on each hosts??? How to configure the routes ???

I will, of course, summarize.
