ISSUE: The groupname listed in my `ifconfig -a` output is different from the group defined in my /etc/hostname.bge0 file. Where is this group name defined?

TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE:

The MultiNICB GroupName definition will become the groupname returned by `ifconfig -a` once ha is started.

my /etc/hostname.bge0:

bash-3.00# cat /etc/hostname.bge3
mnicb-bge3-base netmask + broadcast + deprecated group mnicb -failover standby up


my ifconfig -a output:

bash-3.00# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849 mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
bge0: flags=9040843 mtu 1500 index 2
inet 10.168.21.254 netmask fffffc00 broadcast 10.168.23.255
groupname support81
ether 0:14:4f:f2:5b:7c
bge0:1: flags=1000843 mtu 1500 index 2

bge2: flags=29040843 mtu 1500 index 3

where does the `ifconfig -a` defined in MultiNICB?
