Lan Speed change

[Amit Jadhav]

Hi,

I am having a N and T Class servers with lan card speed at 10bt.
Now I have to change it to new speed of 100bt full duplex, I did lanadmin -X 100fd lan1
But when I reboot the machine it resets again to original( 10bt i.e 10M) speed again !!

What can be done to make these changes permanent. Do I have to change the /etc/rc.config.d/hpbase100conf file? if so what changes??

Thanks for u r help in advance.

Thanks,
Amit Jadhav

Yes you will need to change the hpxxxconf file for the corrisponding card. identified by your

ioscan -funClan

here is an example of an entry set to 100FD

HP_BASET_INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan2
#HP_BASET_STATION_ADDRESS[1]=MAC ADDRESS
HP_BASET_STATION_ADDRESS[1]=
HP_BASET_SPEED[1]=100FD

notice the MAC address enty is commented out. you dont need that entry at all unless your doing something special that calls for it.

Hi,

Just to add to the previous reply, from Document ID BHERRKBRC00002878 on the ITRC site, here is a chart showing which configuration files in rc.config.d are used by which drivers:



#ioscan -fkC lan will display the btlan driver loaded in the kernel.

driver /etc/rc.config.d/

btlan0 hpeisabtconf

btlan hpbtlanconf

btlan1 hpbasetconf

btlan3 hpbase100conf

btlan4 hpgsc100conf

btlan5 hppci100conf

btlan6 hpsppci100conf

Yes you have to edit the /etc/rc.config.d/hpbase100conf file and make sure you have entries:

HP_BASE100_INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan1
HP_BASE100_STATION_ADDRESS[0]=
HP_BASE100_SPEED[0]=100FD

if you do not set the HP_BASE100_INTERFACE_NAME[0] then the rc script ignores your config and uses the defaults. so it is important that you set the value to lan1 or whichever interface name it is.

good luck.

PS. you can test it after you make your changes by running:

# /sbin/init.d/hpbase100 start

or
# sh -x /sbin/init.d/hpbase100 start
(for debugging information as the script runs)

Issue
#lanadmin -X 100FD
instead of lan1 (probably it is 1).
