After newly configuring one or more QFE Ethernet ports, boot the guest system with the reconfigure flag (boot <disk> -r). To support the QFE controller, Solaris needs the Sun Quad FastEthernet Adapter Driver (SUNWqfed). This package is bundled with the Solaris operating environment starting with Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98. For earlier versions of Solaris, the vendor provided a driver CD with the adapter. After installing the driver, the interfaces should become visible in the ifconfig output upon entering the command ifconfig qfeX plumb. X denotes the interface number. Use prtconf to identify the correct interface numbers. To assign an address to the qfeX interface, create a /etc/hostname.qfeX file with the hostname for the interface and add the address for the hostname to /etc/hosts.
Please note that on Solaris 11, different commands are required to configure the interface:
# ipadm create-ip netX # ipadm create-addr -T static -a <ip-address>/<netmask> netX/v4
