Hi,

lanadmin -x 0 --> this is for lan0
lanadmin -x 1 --> this is for lan1
lanadmin -x 2 --> this is for lan2

Hi,

# lanscan
Hardware Station Crd Hdw Net-Interface NM MAC HP-DLPI DLPI
Path Address In# State NamePPA ID Type Support Mjr#
0/0/0/0 0x001083FF5AE3 0 UP lan0 snap0 1 ETHER Yes 119

# lanadmin -x 1
Current Speed = 10 Half-Duplex Auto-Negotiation-ON
# lanadmin -x 0
Current Speed = 100 Full-Duplex Auto-Negotiation-OFF

# lanspeed
Card at PPA 0 - IP Address: 145.4.3.48 - Speed = 100 Full-Duplex Auto-NegoF
Card at PPA 1 - IP Address: Not assigned- Speed = 10 Half-Duplex Auto-NegotN

attached is a the lanspeed script.

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

lanscan -x 0 (ppa number, could be diff. from 0 )

lanscan -X 0 ( sets parms. Note the cap. and lower cases )

Hi,

lanadmin -x PPA

in your case

lanadmin -x 0

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom,

lanadmin will show you connection speed and duplex. You will not get that speed on a file transfer due to overhead for the OS and network infrastructure.

Hi,

You can also see this information from sam -> Networking section.

I know I'm jumping in late - but here's a good little script I wrote:

# cat /usr/local/bin/lancards
#!/usr/bin/sh
# script to check speed and settings of lan cards
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
ppas=`lanscan | awk '$3~/^[0-9]$/{print $3}' | xargs`
for i in $ppas
do
printf "Card at PPA %s - " $i
ipa=`ifconfig lan${i} 2>/dev/null | awk '{ip=$2}END{if(ip==""){printf("Not assigned")}else{printf("%s ",ip)}}'`
printf "IP Address: %15s- " "$ipa"
lanadmin -x $i 2>/dev/null | awk '{$1="";printf("%s",$0)}'
echo ""
done

hi,
what does it means:

# ifconfig lan1
ifconfig: no such interface
root@server:[/root]
# lanadmin -x 1
Speed = 1000 Full-Duplex.
Autonegotiation = On.

root@server:[/root]
# ifconfig lan2
ifconfig: no such interface
root@server:[/root]
# lanadmin -x 2
The link is down. The speed and other link state information
are undefined. The configuration specified for this card is:
Speed = 1000 or 100 or 10 Mbps.
Autonegotiation = On.

root@server:[/root]

does it means that lan1 is physically connected to switch but no ip defined to lan1.
and lan2 is not physically connected to switch.

am i right?

lanadmin -x 0 --> this is for lan0
lanadmin -x 1 --> this is for lan1
lanadmin -x 2 --> this is for lan2
