lanadmin problem

Shailesh V. Marathe — Sat, 10 Jun 2000 03:28:44 GMT

I have K360 server V11.00 running on 100FD. When I check with "lanadmin -x ppa" it shows me "10 Half-Duplex Auto-negotiation-ON". As suggessted by Mr. Berlene I changed the setting with "lanadmin -X 100FD ppa" still same problem persists.

Can anyone let me know the solution for this ?

Make sure you have the latest cumulative patch for this type of lan card. ioscan -fkC lan will tell you what type.

1. Turn off autonegotiation.

2. Copy the configuration file from /usr/newconfig/etc/rc.config.d/hp#####conf to /etc/rc.config.d

example with HSC card:

#cp /usr/newconfig/etc/rc.config.d/hpbasetconf /etc/rc.config.d

3. Modify the file by setting the startup variables

HP_GSC100_SPEED[#]=100FD (where # is the interface index)

4. Launch the start up script manually by issuing start from the startup script

#/sbin/rc2.d/S331hpgsc100 start

5. Confirm autonegotiation is off with lanadmin command

#lanadmin -x

There is a document at http://docs.hp.com/hpux/communications that explains the problem with some type of lan cards and autonegotiation.

Also check the switch, hub, router (whatever in use) and verify that the port is going to 100.

The only suggestion I can do is that if you followed the steps from Berlene and you are sure that the switch is forced to 100Mbps, then you should reboot the system (Berlene proposed to "restart" the lan card, but usually it doesn't work as spected)

Check the port and ensure it is set to 100FD. What type of card is it, what is the btlan driver in the kernel. This puppy should be working!

Checkup the following steps,

1) Make sure your card is suppoted 10/100Mbs

2) Make sure that your lan card is set 100FD in "PDC" if not go to PDC menu by interrupting auto boot and go to Configuration and issue LC ( lan config) it will say the duplex mode set for the card.

3)Make sure that your Hubs,Switchs is set for 100FD ( if it is switch you need to configure in switch side)

I don't know why but it appears that my posts are not going through. What I had attempted to post was that you may be using improper syntax of the lanadmin command. The lanadmin command will accept anything at all from the -x option. For instance if you type the following:

lanadmin -x lan2

you would think think that you would get the speed/duplex settings for lan2. But really you get the speed/duplex settings for lan0. The proper syntax requires just the PPA # without the "lan" in front as shown here:

lanadmin -x 2

To prove my point try typing the following:

lanamdin -x hp-rules

check the results against the command:

lanadmin -x 0

are they the same??
