built-in lan problem

Jiangshanshan — Thu, 01 Feb 2001 01:39:37 GMT

The followings are the key sentence of my rc.log:

Configure LAN interfaces
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S008net.sd start":
----------------------------
ERROR: LAN1 interface: ifconfig: no such interface
"/sbin/rc2.d/S008net.sd start" FAILED

Configure LAN interfaces
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S340net start":
----------------------------
ERROR: LAN1 interface: ifconfig: no such interface
"/sbin/rc2.d/S340net start" FAILED

The following is the lan setting of my unix box:

Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
===================================================================
lan 0 10/12/6 lan2 CLAIMED INTERFACE Built-in LAN
/dev/diag/lan0 /dev/ether0 /dev/lan0

What i want to ask is why the system checking the device which doesn't exist in my box,perhaps the box has such a external lan car
installed in previous, but now it does not have
it. Hope for expert to answer it, i also attach my "swagentd" file which indicate my incomplete installation of
HP patch PHCO_19798, i'd be appreciated if any
expert answer it, thanks

In your /etc/rc.config.d/hpbase100conf file is there a reference to an interface called lan1?

If so, then modify the file so that it only has configuration info for lan0.

What is the history of the system. It does appear that at some point it had 2 LAN cards installed and by default it was configured to use lan1. Try looking at /etc/rc.config.d/netconf to see what interface is being used if lan1 try changing to lan0 (make a copy of the original just in case). Alternatively try running /sbin/setp_parms initial to reconfigure the entire network setup.

Hi
Further to John's suggestion of altering the netconf file, when you make a copy of the netconf file do not save it in the same dir as it is possible for the system to read a copy instead of the correct file.

lan0 (builtin 10baseT card) seems to be the only card they system recognizes, so I agree; ensure in your /etc/rc.config.d/netconf, there is no reference to a lan1.
