Invaild sub-net

Dan Maul — Thu, 18 Sep 2003 13:53:33 GMT

I???ve run into another problem setting up the old hp workstation 10.20.
The system hangs when booting up because of the invalid sub-net checking. We use zero sub-nets at our work place. Under version 11.0 we use /usr/bin/ndd to disable sub-net checking. What can I use in replace of ndd?

The ndd command is still in HP-UX 11.00

If the command isn't working, post it with an error message.

You also might try a default subnet in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

Zero subnets in our workplace?

You may have not subnets, but that does not mean you should set subnet to 0.0.0.0

That won't work. If there is one network in your shop, there should be a valid subnet.

The best bet is to copy the subnet setting from your domain controller or HP-UX server.

nettune is the equivalent to ndd on 10.20 but if I remember correctly it did not check subnets unless this was a later patch. nettune -l
will show you the parameters you can change.

This command set from one of Ron's other posts should work.

ndd -get /dev/ip ip_check_subnet_addr

ndd -get /dev/ip ip_check_subnet_addr 0

ndd is in 11.11 and its on my 11.00 systems.

Give the points to Ron.
