dl_unix_errno = 57

Try to run
# linkloop -i 0

Ah !! linkloop not working.
Hence there is a connectivity issue at the Physical layer..

What is the OS version
What is the H/W Platform
Try to swap the lan cables and check if linkloop works fine

Probably you could try to directly connect the server to you laptop and check if linkloop is working.

Same error

Shalom,

Best bet is to manually change /etc/rc.config.d/netconf IP address and boot the system.

Yes you CAN do it without a reboot but it will take longer and likely lead to more hassle than its worth.

Hi Avinash/Steven,

I am able to change the IP address connected to the other lancards. I have used the same cable to connect to the other lan card and am able to change the IP of other lans.. Only the issue is with lan0

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks Avinash !!

The issue is resolved..

Lan cable was connected to MP instead of lan0 slot

After connecting the cable to the lan0 slot the issue is resolved.
