Hi,

remove the lan5 and lan11 configure from the /etc/rc.config.d/hpgelanconf and then add the new entries in the hpigenlanconf.

restart the server and check the rc.log again...

GOOD LUCK!

Hello Warren,

Thank You very much for the quick response and also for the information provided.

I have checked the file, lan5 and lan11 are present in /etc/rc.config.d/hpgelan. After making the modifications in /etc/rc.config.d/hpgelan and /etc/rc.config.d/hpigelan. Without rebooting the server, if i run /sbin/init.d/hpgelan start and /sbin/init.d/hpigelan start will that work, because I don't want to reboot the server.

Regards,

Ravi.
