Hi Shiv:

'ifconfig' exists. Do:

# whereis ifconfig

...to see "where'.

HP-UX does have ifconfig available.

# /usr/sbin/ifconfig

Are you seeing problems or errors when running it?

Unsure what you mean. ifconfig command is available in HPUX.

Some of the command options/switches may be different between the flavors

What are you attempting to do?

ifconfig is similar in SUN, I am not sure about AIX or linux.
What Unix you are looking to find the ifconfig.

Hi Shiva,

if config is available in HP-UX too.
its /usr/sbin/ifconfig

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60103/ifconfig.1M.html

Standard output would be

#ifconfig lan1
lan1: flags=1843
inet 172.17.112.4 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.17.112.255

Hi Shiv ,

ifconfig is available in hp-ux and here is few details may help you :

1. /usr/sbin/ifconfig lan1 [ to see the details of the interface lan1 ]
2. ifconfig lan2 up [ you can make a down interface up ]

3. you can configure the interface like this:
# ifconfig lan0 10.110.5.1 netmask 255.255.255.224

Cheers ,
Raj.

Shiv ,
Also you can see :

# man set_parms , and /etc/rc.config.d/netconf [The configuration file , which keeps the network related informations ] , for further details ,

Cheers,
Raj.

You would have to use a combination of lanscan and ifconfig.

Use lanscan to find the interface names (lan0, lan1, etc.)

Then use 'ifconfig lan0' (or whatever the interface name is) to see the details.

You can also use 'netstat -in' to see each interface and its ip address.

heres a script that will cycle through the "configured" lan interfaces and outputs the lan#, IP address and netmask...

Alan Meyer_4 — Fri, 09 Sep 2005 17:05:55 GMT

suppose to be attached.. Hmmmmm

Hi Shiv:

In HP-UX you can do:

lanscan |awk 'NR > 2 {print $5}'|while read line
> do
> ifconfig ${line}
> done

...to get a view of all interfaces with 'ifconfig'.

Hi Shiv ,

Here is a simple script that will help you finding all lan cards IP and details , in the system :

#########################################
for i in `lanscan | grep lan | awk '{print $5}' | sort `
do
echo $i
ifconfig $i
echo "-------------------------------------------------------------------"
done
###########################################

Enjoy , Have fun,
Cheers,
Raj.

Shiv,
I know what you mean when you say ifconfig like other operating systems.

On HP UX ifconfig works with specific lan device only and there is nothing like ifconfig -a

To get everything, I use three commands complementing each other and providing information.

lanscan

netstat -in

ifconfig

thanks

hi shiv,

i normally use the following script:

# more speed-lan.sh
#!/usr/bin/sh
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
#

hope this helps too!

regards
