Add host entries in the /etc/hosts file
touch /etc/hostname.nge0 -put the hostname
add the netmask in the /etc/netmasks with the correct subnet
touch /etc/defaultrouter -> put in the gateway IP

Then...
EXAMPLE
#ifconfig nge0 plumb
#ifconfig nge0 10.10.12.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + up

#init 6 -to reboot

#ifconfig -a
#dladm show-dev -> verify that link is up and running

How to assigne static ip to a interface that will sustain a boot:
Add host entry to /etc/hosts
add hostname to the file /etc/hostname.interface (hostname.nge0 for you) (you can also put in the ip here, if you dont want to add the host entry into /etc/hosts)
add netmask to /etc/netmasks
add defaultrouter ip in /etc/defaultrouter
init 6
ifconfig -a to check config is correct
netstat -rn to check defaultrouter is correct.

Just using ifconfig commands will not make the setting stay across reboots.
