How to Remove a Physical Interface

Use this procedure for removing a physical interface. If you are using the earlier Solaris 10 3/05, refer to How to Remove a Physical Interface in Solaris 10 3/05 ONLY.
  1. On the system with the interface to be removed, assume the Primary Administrator role or become superuser.

  2. Remove the physical interface.

    # ifconfig interface down unplumb 
    
    For example, to remove the interface qfe1, you would type:

    # ifconfig qfe1 down unplumb
