Adding a second NIC

Jeff Roessler — Wed, 25 Sep 2002 19:15:56 GMT

I have an HP Visualize B132L. I was hoping that someone could inform me of how to install a second network card or point me to a location where I can get information on the subject. I have a few older manuals but none of them cover it very well. The HP-UX O/S rev is 10.20. I thank you in advance for any and all help you provide.

Thanks,

Jeff

Are you looking for information on adding the hw, or configuring the already installed card.

I would like to work on Configuring the software for the card. I already have it installed.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Jeff

First check card ok with ioscan -fnC lan

You can check the drivers installed in the kernel with

what /stand/vmunix | grep -i lan

Here are your config files and drivers

http://techsolutions.hp.com/fe/configs.html#config_files

If the device is unclaimed you will have to install the correct driver for the card

Then

lanscan

to get the lan id

then bring the card up

ifconfig lan# up

edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file and assign ip address and subnet to the card

INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan1
IP_ADDRESS[1]=
SUBNET_MASK[1]=""
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[1]=""
INTERFACE_STATE[1]=""
DHCP_ENABLE[1]=0

Then run

/sbin/init.d/net start to pickup your configuration
