bge card and broadcast address

UNIX Solaris
1

I have a bge1 card and a bge0 card, i want the broadcast addresses to match, ifconfig shows this

lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
bge0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet xxx.xx.x.xxx netmask ffff0000 broadcast aaa.aa.aaa.aaa
ether
bge1: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 11
inet xxx.xxx.x.xxx netmask ffffff00 broadcast bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb
ether

i have tried

ifconfig bge1 xxx.xxx.x.xxx plumn netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast aaa.aa.aaaa.aaa

to no avail, please anyone

there is a file called /etc/netmasks where you have to put your broadcast-addresses for each subnet

ifconfig example:
ifconfig bge0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 up
