lan0 & lan1

[Account Not Used]

I just upgraded a k580 from 10.20UX to 11.0. While it's down I want to standardize the server with the rest of or boxes. Currently on this server lan0 is the 100BT nic and lan1 is the 10BT internal nic. I want to reverse this setting so the lan0 is the 10BT and lan1 is the 100BT. Do I use ifconfig etc ? How do I do this?

Hi,

1) 100Base lan nic can be set to 10Base
2) 10Bbase lan nic cannot set to 100Base
3) 'ifconfig' cannot set the link speed.
4) Use 'lanadmin' to set link speed.
5) Or config the /etc/rc.config.d/hpbasetconf, then reboot.
6) Recommand you try to change lan card physical location.

In order to switch the instance of lan0 and lan1:


HW Address Net-Interface Name MAC type
56.1 lan0 ether
8 lan1 ether
1) create file called /tmp/hp. Now put in new instances that you want:
8 lan 0 <---where 8 is hw address of card & word LAN MUST be there. 0 is NEW instance number.
56.1 lan 1 <---where 56.1 is hw address of card & word LAN MUST be there. 1 is NEW instance number.
2) do a: ioinit -f /tmp/hp
3) then reboot
4) do a lanscan to verify new names now are correct.
5) then cd /dev
6) do a: insf -e
7) do a: lssf /dev/lan* look for correct devices files & instances
8) then modify netconf & make sure ip's are going to correct card
9) Reboot again
