ifconfig commands

hpuxrox — Wed, 08 May 2002 19:37:05 GMT

Anyone have a steps off hand to configure a new interface without a reboot.

ifconfig lan0 plumb
ifconfig lan0 192.168.0.53 netmask 255.255.255.0

What else to I need to route out the interface?

#ifconfig lan1 ip_address up netmask netmask_address

up & netmask is the word you type.

For my test workstation I do

#ifconfig lan2 10.20.1.1 up netmask 255.0.0.0

Hi Yates:

# ifconfig lanX up

Also configure it in the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file for next reboot.

I forget about route

to add route

#route add default 10.20.25.1 1

Will add default gatway on my system with one hop.

#netstat -rn (to check)

What about lanadmin -X stuff??

Hi Yates:

The lanadmin -X command not necessary. If you want to set up driver specific options, then you need to use that. For eg: to set up the lan interface speed.

# man lanadmin for more details

using lanadmin you can setup mtu, station address and speed.

#lanadmin -s 0 (if ppa is 0) will display the speed of card.
#lansdmin -S 0 newspeed (to setup new speed)

Edit the /etc/rc.config.d/netconfig file to have all the parrameters of the LAN card.

Edit the lan card configuration card.

/etc/rc.config.d/hpbase100conf to reflect the lancard speed and others.

Then either run the ifconfig lanX ip_address up netmask XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX or

run the stop and start scripts of the net as fast as posible. ie

/sbin/init.d/net stop ;/sbin/init.d/net start

users will not know the changes but make sure all is well with your configuration and setup.

The subnetmask, the broadcast and others are entered well in the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file.

using the ifconfig may not give you the actual broadcast address if you do not set it well.

I am back
