We have 4 alpha systems (ds20,es40) wired in a FDDI ring but never used (the
interfaces were never configured at the o/s level). I need to make this
active. I've ifconfig'd the interfaces but they are still not active (cannot
ping each other). Do I need to reboot all machines to get them active? (These
are 7x24 production machines so I don't want to schedule a reboot unless
certain it will get this working.)

Thanks.
