Identifying lan

How do I identify which lan is plugged to a specific port on the network card? Here is the output of lanscan and ioscan.

There are three cards installed on the server. Need server model to know which slot refers to which card.
lan0 and lan1 would be in slot 0 and then lan 2 then lan3 this would be the sequence.
Lan 2 and lan3 is combo card so you may find some SCSI devices connected to it.

Hi etc,

U can find by issuing the command

#lanadmin -x 1 (PPA number)

lan0 --- 0
lan1 --- 1
lan2 ----2
lan3 --- 3

it will show the speed if the cable is connected.otherwise it will say nolink

Hi,

You can also get these information from "sam" and networking section.

It's rx4640

What is the PPA number and where does it show up in the above output?

Hi:

The PPA number is part of 'lanscan's output.

lanadmin -x doesn't really tell me anything, other than the link is up or down. It doesn't say what lan? this port is.

I am looking at a specific port and I cannot figure out if it's lan0, lan1, lan2 or lan3

Specifically, the PPA for lanadmin is the Card Instance # that is displayed in both ioscan and lanscan.

0/2/1 ---> PCI Slot 7 (7th From Left Slot)
0/4/2 ---> PCI Slot 4 (4th From Left Slot) - Shared with Slot 3
0/1/2/0 ---> PCI Slot 2 (2nd From Left Slot) - Core
0/1/2/1 ---> PCI Slot 2 (2nd From Left Slot) - Core

You can use "netstat -in" to determine which IP addresses are configured on which interfaces.
