I omitted conf files.

root@www:[/etc/rc.config.d]ll *conf
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 1232 5??? 6??? 14:38 hpbasetconf
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 968 1996.06.10 hpetherconf
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 4466 9??? 12??? 12:06 netconf
-r-xr--r-- 1 bin bin 2642 2001.01.04 nfsconf

OK

Hi:

For the 'btlan1' lan card (HP-PB 100 Base TX) you want to edit '/etc/rc.config.d/hpbtlanconf'. To set 100MB, full duplex, assign '100fd' to the variable 'XXX_SPEED[n]' and the lan name (e.g. lan3) to 'XXX_INTERFACE_NAME. Leave the STATION_ADDRESS variable undefined.

Regards!

Hi,

I think you have the wrong NMID for your lanadmin command. To see the ID for each card, run the 'lanscan' command. Then, use that number for 'lanadmin'.

Here are a couple of threads that discuss this issue:

Hi,

You can use lanadmin as well as sam to accomplish your job . In our environment once we did same thing with lanadmin but modifications were lost reboot .
So we did with sam .
