lanscan help

iman_1 — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 12:39:13 GMT

All,

When I do lanscan -q it gives me below

Milano:/ # lanscan -q
9
10
11
12
14
15
16
1
2
3
4
0
900 13 17
901
902
903
904

I suppose this means lan900 is the port aggregation of lan13 and lan17. Where can I get more information about lan13 and lan17 ? They do not seem to be the part of lanscan nor netstat -in.

Help appreciated.

Hi,

What information you are looking from lan13 and lan17?

You can use ioscan -fnC lan or lanadmin commands to know more details.

Hi iman,

Have you tried lanscan -v ?

Johnson Punniyalingam — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 12:58:25 GMT

lanscan -v

(verbose output for more information of the lancards)

man lanscan

also please check /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

Thx,
Johnson

In my Case, ioscan only lists lan 0 to 13

I want to know the complete hardware path of the lan13 and lan17 so that can direct the hardware person to the specific lan cable.

Hi Ganesan,

Even lanscan does not give information about lan17 . I do get info about lan13 though.

Ciao.

did you try this:
lanadmin > lan > display

Why not posting your lanscan output together with the output of "model"?

Until then we can only guess around ...

Re: lanscan help

Torsten. — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 13:41:06 GMT

Be aware, not all drivers are creating lanx device files, it depends on card and driver, e.g.

lan 9 0/0/12/0/0 igelan CLAIMED INTERFACE HP A6825-60101 PCI 1000Base-T Adapter

Re: lanscan help

Ganesan R — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 13:43:15 GMT

Hi,

ioscan should show all the available interfaces. Use #ioscan -fnC lan |more

Also lanscan -v should show the card details and it's hardware paths. Try this.

>>I suppose this means lan900 is the port aggregation of lan13 and lan17<<

as mentioned above "network card teaming has been done" so your network card information will be stated in the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf,

so you need look how network card failure has been configured,

ioscan -fnC lan

or you use lanadmin command

Thanks,
Johnson

hi

also can go to SAM/SMH and go to Network and communications and select the Auto-Port Aggregation.
Also can take the help of the Network Interface cards.

Also can use the command
#lanadmin -v -x lan900
to know the aggregate members.
there from have a look at the Port aggregate lan900 and at the lan 13 and 17 in the Network Interfcae Cards.
Make sure that you are carefully navigatting in teh SAM Menu and that by mistake any aggregate is not modified or deleted.
regards
sujit
