lanadmin -x doesn't work

Heber Garcia — Thu, 08 Feb 2001 17:58:50 GMT

Hi ,

facts: HP-UX 10.20

I try to run lanadmin -x in order to obtain the speed of the NIC. But doesn't work and no show any message.

Cause of it I can't to change the speed and the mode of the NIC to Full-Duplex.

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

Are you supplying a NMID(Network Management ID) to the lanadmin command? Try typing lanadmin -x 0 or lanadmin -x 1 and see what you get. The lanadmin command always needs a nmid to tell it which interface you wish to modify. Hope this helps.

Good Luck,
JAV

You can hardcode this is in the lan configuration file. (Use the correct file for your lan card.)

For instance:
/etc/rc.config.d/hpbasetconf

To see all related conf files:
# ll /etc/rc.config.d/hp*

You may also want to apply the lanadmin command patch. Many cases of -x not working can be related to the lanadmin version.

PHNE_22352 Lan cumulative patch (s800 10.20)
Reboot: yes

First use the lanscan command to obtain the Network Management ID ( NM ID) and then run lanadmin to obtain the speed.

i.e

# lanscan
:
:

# lanadmin -x 6
Current Speed = 100 Full-Duplex

Hope this helps,
Josef

The lanadmin command will only work on 100/1000BaseX cards, not the built in ones (10HD only). AND, like Cheryl says, you have to have the LAN cumulative patch applied that gives you this capability.

On my version of lanadmin I will have to use:
lanadmin -s to obtain the current speed.
