The lanadmin command

Habib_4 — Tue, 11 Apr 2006 07:03:02 GMT

Hi guys,

Just wandered, what is the 'lanadmin' normally used for?
Also, what sort of options do we have available for the lanadmin command and how can these be used?

Your information will be greatly appreciated.

man landmin
lanadmin -sx "nm_id_of_card"
gives speed and duplex settings.
lanadmin -X "nm_id_of_card" sets dumplex settings.

The most common usage is to query or set speed and duplex options on your NIC.

hi,

lanadmin is used to configure your lan interfaces from command line, if you dont want to use SAM.

use lanscan to find details of lan interface and then lanadmin to configure as required, like examples already given.

#man lanadmin for more details

Hi Habib:

The 'lanadmin' command can be run in menu mode to show LAN Interface status and statistics registers, too.

# lanadmin -> lan -> display

Here's an example in a script:

#!/usr/bin/sh
# script to check speed and settings of lan cards
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
ppas=`lanscan | awk '$3~/^[0-9]$/{print $3}' | xargs`
for i in $ppas
do
printf "Card at PPA %s - " $i
ipa=`ifconfig lan${i} 2>/dev/null | awk '{ip=$2}END{if(ip==""){printf("Not assigned")}else{printf("%s ",ip)}}'`
printf "IP Address: %15s- " "$ipa"
lanadmin -x $i 2>/dev/null | awk '{$1="";printf("%s",$0)}'
echo ""
done

One of the most useful options is to display the card statistics. This provides a health and performance check on both the card and network. It runs in interactive mode (menu of choices) with no options and batch mode with options.
