1. Create the TCP/IP stack - The interface will not show in ifconfig until you do this:
    2.   # ifconfig hme1 plumb
  2. Apply an IP address - Now the interface will showin in ifconfig:
    3.   # ifconfig hme1 192.168.1.4
  3. Bring the interface up:
    4.   #  ifconfig hme1 up
  4. Make the changes permanent by updating the /etc/hostname.hme1 file:
    5.   192.168.1.4
