Network Interfaces

Joe Profaizer — Mon, 02 Apr 2001 19:04:27 GMT

I just installed GB NICs in two L1000s. Previously we used lan0 (default 100 NIC) as our network access. Since I've re-assigned our IP address to the GB NIC, we are mostly using lan5 now as our main network interface. How should I go about removing or disabling the network interface that I don't want to use anymore? I still see pkins on lan0.

Thanks,

..Joe

You can do ifconfig lan0 down to down the lan0 interface. Also do a lanscan to see what is on the system and what the system reports as UP.

If you disable/delete the card thru SAM I think it should take care of all the files. Ifconfig is a temporary solution if you reboot the system the card will show up.You need to delete the card information from the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file, and SAM should do the job.

Goodluck

Comment out the card in the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file.
Each card is represented by an instance such as [0] and [5].

Thanks. Does it matter if entries are surrounded by double-quotes regarding the interfaces in etc/rc.config.d/netconf?

I recomment not removing it from netconf. You may...by change need to use it latter. I would just modify the INTERFACE_STATE parameter in the netconf file for 100MB card.

INTERFACE_STATE[0]=up
change to
INTERFACE_STATE[0]=down

run ifconfig lan0 down

This should fix your prob..

Even after I disabled lan0 -- how come I still have a PktIn count when I monitor the network cards with glance (motif)?
