Configuration Lan interface

ANDRE David — Thu, 18 Mar 2004 08:04:26 GMT

Hello,

I recreate a new server ( HP L1000 ) with Ignite from another machine ( hardware is different ). the version of Hp-ux is 11i

The lan interface is incorrect.
I check the file
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf
/etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaconf
/etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf

all seem correct ( i compare with another machine with same hardware but Hp-ux 11.0 )

When i execute the follow command server :
/usr/sbin/hp_apa_util -G 50
I receive 900
I think that i would receive 100 instead 900.

How can i configue correctly the lan interface?

Thanks.

Hi,

The easiest way is to run the /sbin/set_parms command.

# /sbin/set_parms initial

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

Hi,

You can check several things:
1. Does your lanscan output ( lan numbers ) match with the netconf files.
2. Do the interfaces have a link ( Duplex settings) ( lanadmin -x ppa nr)
3. Is the vlan config correct on the switch.
4. Is your routing table ok ( netstat -nr)
5. Is your apa config ok ( hp_apaconf and hp_apaportconf ( lan numbers)
6. Check your /etc/rc.log for failed start scripts regarding lan issues.

HTH,

Gideon

Hello,

With APA, the aggregate names will always be lan9xx on HPUX 11i, and lan1xx on HPUX 11.0.

That's why the 11.0 system shows lan100, but the 11.11 system shows lan900...

Best regards
