Ping / Telnet problem

Broflowsky — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 21:47:43 GMT

I have just installed a new box rx6600 with HPUX 11.31, I have setup NIC cards and I can ping gateway and any other servers in the subnet, however this box is not pingable from any other box, also some services as telnet or ftp are not enabled, I can do ssh, scp, etc.

How can I enable the IPs to be pingable??

Please advise.

Shalom,

If the systems have the same gateway or are on the same network they should be able to ping each other.

Make sure you don't have two NIC cards on the same subnet, that can cause this behavior.

For more specific information, I would need to see /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

hp-ux 11.31 is more secure than previous versions, this includes access from outside.

Check for existing bastille and ipfilter configurations.

If it not answers ping, doesn't allow telnet but only ssh it could be a custom secure installation/configuration - ask the person who installed the system.

thanks for the reply,

This is an excerpt from /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

I can not telnet or ping from any other host in the same subnet, however I can ssh.

Enable a X-Display and run bastille interactive:
