network interface card

meekrob — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 13:17:58 GMT

Hi
i have added a Gigabit network card on a L3000 HP-UX server , the card take the nomination lan2 ,
i have disconnected the network cable from lan0 so it became disabled
i gave an IP address to lan2 and the interface become up but i can not ping any address from this interface , only i can ping the own ip address
note that when i put netstat -rn the default route is connected to lan0 , could it be the problem ?
the fiber switch is a cisco 2960G and even fron the switch we can not ping the server ,
the interface on the switch is also up
could it be a configuration that we should do on the unix server ??

hi,

if you just removed the cable, you have just taken the interface down, not disabled it.

go into sam and networking>interface cards and disable it here properly.

make sure the new card is configured correctly and set to auto neg. Gigabit cards dont like to forced to a set speed.

How did you give the new card an IP? have you updated all the necessary files aswell

Yes - you need to update your default route.

How should i configure the default gateway on lan2 ??

should i do other configuration than giving the IP address?

Just edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf to add proper IP/gateway for that interface.
After that /sbin/init.d/net start

Hi,

Disable the lan0 card properly.

Then remove the existing default gateway.

# route delete default

Then add new gateway.

# route add default 1

Hope this helps.

Thanks
