[Networker] Any Solaris 9 gurus?

This is a bit off topic, but I am getting nowhere trying to set up atagged VLAN on a Solaris 9 box that I am using as a storage node.

My network manager changed this server's connection from a regularconnection to a tagged VLAN connection. It started off with a ce3interface in "ifconfig -a" but I had to drop that and I am trying toreplace it with

/sbin/ifconfig ce1600000 plumb ipaddress netmask 255.255.252.0broadcast brdaddress up

The /etc/hosts file already contains the appropriate entry for thisVLAN from when the IP address was assigned to ce3 and the /etc/netmasks file also contains the relevant entry from before. I alsocreated a file

/etc/hostname.ce1600000 with the name of the host in it.

Yet when I issue the above command, I get an error that says

ifconfig: SIOCLIFNAME for ip: ce1600000: no such interface

What am I doing wrong? My network administrator and I have beenworking on this for the past hour and googling only tells meinformation that I already know.


Any tips will be greatly appreciated.
