HPUX Networking

Does anybody know if the NIC's for HP9000 servers are 802.1Q compatible on HPUX 10.20 and 11?
If so, how do you configure it.

Re: HPUX Networking

Maybe you could get the best answer from the folks at HP are working on this. Take a look at this thread, because back in April, HP was looking for folks with VLAN interest to work with:

....noticed they mention 11i for system requirements.

Re: HPUX Networking

There's also an existing product that talks Cisco's proprietary ISL protocol that works under 10.20 and 11.x, but...

o I don't think it does 802.1q
o I don't know if it does multiple VLAN's (I've only seen it used for doing failover of NIC's)
o It doesn't play well with some other software that messes with the IP stack in the kernel
