When I rebooted the AW51E box the Second Ethernet port stopped working ,I recorded this message in /var/adm/messages. Note the cable is connected to a CISCO 3550 series switch, where all the other PLANT wide Stations WP,AW,AP stations are connected.

I have to do a slight change on the netmask address 255.255.255.0 as well on some ndd parameters for it to work, Not sure if the ndd parameter will change after reboot.

If you use with hme1, make sure you have /etc/hostname.hme1 created with the host name in it. If it works with hme2, make sure you have /etc/hostname.hme2 created with the host name in it. After this, check the port: ifconfig -a netstat -in If it sets up OK, try pinging the port and pinging out.
