/etc/rc.log: ERROR: invalid duplex value for lan1 interface

Hi,
have found an error in /etc/rc.log:

Configure HP GSC 100BT interfaces

Does anybody have an idea, what could be wrong?

Thank you,

Michael,

It appears you have your station address in the duplex field. I would blank out both entries - the station address should be picked up from the NIC itself rather than hard coding it and the duplex is already specified in the speed line (100FD).

The DUPLEX is wrong. Try deleting the value 0x0060B.... and adding =FULL.

Hope this helps.

Hi Pete,
thank you for your answer,
what means NIC ?
Bye, Michael

Hi,
now it's ok, I don't have this entry in rc.log anymore!
I blanked out
HP_GSC100_DUPLEX[0]=
HP_GSC100_DUPLEX[1]=

What do else now?
- adding FULL (necessary?)
- blank out STATION_ADDRESS (necessary?)

Your's, Michael

Adding FULL - not necessary - it's already set to 100FD - you can check this with the lanadmin command to make sure it's running at 100FD - To view the current LAN setting: lanadmin -x 0

(where 0 is the card's instance or PPA number, found with lanscan).

Blank out station address - not necessary - but recommended to avoid the possibility of duplicates in the future.
