Solaris 10

I have a 4 port gigabit card & a 4 port PCI gigabit card on the server.
If i do 'ifconfig -a' i see only bge0 & bge1, how do i see the rest of 6 ports?
Also how do i see & change the media speed to 1000 full duplex?
Any idea?

bge is "broadcom Ethernet". I would bet that you have 2 onboard ports, and that those are bge0 and bge1. What chipset are the cards you installed? what does and lspci show?

the onboard one has 4 ports so i should see bge0 to bge3 right? but when i do ifconfig -a i only see bge0 & bge1. I'll run the lspci tomorrow when i get back to work

Depends on what chipset the onboard card uses.

i got this working. I saw the adapters using dldadm, then i plumbed the adapter i want , then i created a /etc/hostname.<adapter name> file & now i see it. By the way i was trying to setup multipathing. I am very much familiar with AIX but solaris i am pretty new
