100BaseT FAIL

Bakos György — Wed, 03 Dec 2003 10:37:45 GMT

100BaseT FAIL is printed by the startup.
/etc/rc.log:
Configure HP SPP 100BT interfaces
Output from "/sbin/rc.2d/S333hpsppci 100 start SKIPPED

after Configure LAN interfaces
error: Failed because the interface is not yet initialized
/sbin/rc.2/S340net start failed

How can i enable the interface ?

are you sure you have 100BT installed ?

check with

ioscan -fnClan

and see if you have any btlan6 hardware...

Maybe some other interface is skipped...

Did you configure your interface first? Check the outputs:

# lanscan
# ifconfig lan?
# netstat -ins
# SAM -> Network Devices
# lanadmin

Check if you have proper driver installed for the lan card. Use "ioscan -fnkC LAN" and it should show configured.

Thanks

Hi,

The initialization could fail if the cable is disconnected/bad or if the link partner (switch/hub port) is down or defective.

You should use the linkloop command to test these other components.
Also it's possible that the NIC itself has failed.

Rgds,
Jeff

OK,
now it's clearer.

You have no SPP 100BT lan (no btlan6) in your environtment, S333 is skipped and this is right.

S340 fails... follow other suggestion:
- is cable connected ? Check both lanconsole and network interface...
- is the other end in auto-negotiation or not ?
- is there any UNCLAIMED in your "ioscan" ?

Very interesant is, that the machine is pingeable, but the services aren't going(I cant telnet. rlogin, ftp...)

Re: 100BaseT FAIL

Bakos György — Wed, 03 Dec 2003 10:55:29 GMT

all are CLAIMED and the cable is OK.

Is it the same server ?

From the server doing the ping, issue an

arp -a | grep

does it match the one on the hpux server (lanscan output...)?

rc.log:
Configure LAN interfaces
Output from "sbin/rc.2d/S340net start
ERROR: Failed to add route entry because its interface is not yet initialized. May need to add this route entry with a route command after the interface is up:

Re: 100BaseT FAIL

Massimo Bianchi — Wed, 03 Dec 2003 11:02:08 GMT

sometimes it startups bad.

Try (manually)

ifconfig lan0 plumb
ifconfig lan0 IPADDRESS netmask NETMASK
ifconfig lan0 up

or

ifconfig lan0 plumb
/sbin/init.d/net start

or simply reboot the server....

No I am pinging from another machine.
arp -a |grep 10.0.1.189
i am trying, but how many minutes must i wait for an answer?

Re: 100BaseT FAIL

Massimo Bianchi — Wed, 03 Dec 2003 11:06:40 GMT

less than one minutes....

try issuing a ping, and immediatly after the command

arp -a | grep IPADDRESS

if it lasts for more than one minutes, i think there are DNS problems as well...

Bakos György — Wed, 03 Dec 2003 11:17:32 GMT

ifconfig lan0
ewerythig seens OK

The machine can ping and is pingable, but the services doesn't are going(in sam are this enable).--> I thinked that this FAI at the boot makes that problems(the boot process is to slow, but at the end the X doesn't runs/I will check that after this net issue/

ping 10.0.1.188 OK
arp -a| grep 10.0.1.188 --> I am waited more then 1 minute, at the end nothing

arp -a | grep 10.0.1.189 (of my machine)
nothing

Re: 100BaseT FAIL

Bakos György — Wed, 03 Dec 2003 11:23:34 GMT

arp -a
10.0.1.64 0:1:2:1b:82:62 ether
10.0.1.16 -no entry

thats all
we have machines in 10.0.1.* ip so 150

Re: 100BaseT FAIL

Massimo Bianchi — Wed, 03 Dec 2003 11:24:27 GMT

wait a minute: how can the DEFAULT gateway on 15.144.112.1 be reachable from the 10.x lan0 ???

I think that i'm missing something...

Massimo

Re: 100BaseT FAIL

Bakos György — Wed, 03 Dec 2003 11:25:49 GMT

15.144....
is an old setup for this machine, could be that the problem???

Re: 100BaseT FAIL

Massimo Bianchi — Wed, 03 Dec 2003 11:27:01 GMT

yes :)

the default gateway MUST be on the same subnet as the ip address...

Hi Bakos,

what does /etc/rc.config.d/netconf contain about IP_ADDRESS(ES) config and ROUTE config? Does it look for right configuration?
If anything is wronged there (just a bad character or missing character) LAN config could fail at boot up.
Could you attach your netconf file?

If netconf is good then you could insert

sleep 30

in the first line of /sbin/init.d/net file and re-try

/sbin/init.d/net stop
/sbin/init.d/net start

Of course it has to be executed on system console.

Just a thought...

Best regards,
Ettore
