This info should be in the install documentation. You need to create
/etc/ifconfig.IF_NAME where IF_NAME is the name of your network
interface(s). ifconfig.ae0 will be used with an asante ethernet interface,
ifconfig.sn0 a SONIC chipset card, etc.. The file contains parameters
passed to ifconfig for that interface. For IP service, there should be
something like:
inet <IP Address> netmask <netmask>
Basically whatever you need to tack onto the end of an ifconfig IF_NAME to
set the ip address.
For info, try:

and

Take care,
