Create a Meta-network device:

1. Select network interface to be used.

2. Create meta-network and confirm uncommitted metadevice

   domain# apnet -c -p qe0 -a qe4
   domain# apconfig -N -u

3. Commit new metadevices to database and confirm committed metadevices.

   domain# apdb -C
   domain# apconfig -N

4. Setp hostname.xxx file

   domain# mv /etc/hostname.qe0 /etc/hostname.mqe0
   domain# rm /etc/hostname.qe4


5. Switch network traffic over to metanetwork.
   (if you are logged in the network were you are making changes,
   see next step below)

   domain# ifconfig qe0 down
   domain# ifconfig qe0 unplumb
   domain# ifconfig qe4 down
   domain# ifconfig qe4 unplumb
   domain# ifconfig mqe0 plumb
   domain# ifconfig mqe0 inet 136.162.65.30 up

6. If you are logged in via the network, ifconfig down will log you out.
   You can either:

   reboot domain, step 5 is then not needed

   or

   execute the commands in step five on one line separated by
   semicolons(;), or put them into a script....

   or login on another network interface and perform the actions in step 5

Switching Meta-network Paths

-P => meta network name

-a => new active path

domain# apconfig -P mqe0 -a qe4
