Map or Change Interface dialog box
You can add the network
identify from a source interface to a target, or you can change the
network attributes for an interface. A network interface may have
multiple IP addresses, gateways, and network masks.
If you map an interface,
select the interface from the Map to Interface drop-down list. The
IP address, netmask, and domain name are applied to that interface
on the restored system.

See Specifying the UNIX
and Linux boot interface.
Table: Interface mapping actions describes
the actions you can initiate in the dialog box.

(Active only if you change an interface and Use DHCP is
disabled.) Opens a dialog box in which you can enter a new network
identity for an interface.
|

Change
|
(Active only if you change an interface, Use DHCP is disabled,
and an identity is selected.) Opens a dialog box in which you can
change the properties for the selected interface.
|

Remove
|
(Active only if you change an interface, Use DHCP is disabled,
and an identity is selected.) Removes the selected interface. If
you did not want to remove the interface, click to exit the dialog box without applying
the changes.
|
|
Hardware MAC address
|
(Appears only when you change an interface.) The Media Access
Control (MAC) address of the interface. You can change the MAC
address for the interface.
|
|
Use DHCP
|
(Active only if you change an interface.) Select to use Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol to obtain network addresses. If you use
DHCP, you cannot edit the interface properties.
|
|
Bootable
|
(UNIX and Linux clients only.) Select to use as the interface to
boot the client.
|
|
Map to Interface
|
(Appears only when you map an interface.) To map an interface,
select the destination interface from the Map to Interface
drop-down list, which includes the available interfaces by MAC
address and name.
On Solaris systems, the MAC address for all interfaces often is
the same. Therefore, the location or name (such as eri0, eri1, or
ce0) is used rather than the MAC address.
