For netmask /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

For speed, it depends on which driver your lancard is using, you can check by doing ioscan -fknClan and then match it to this list;

Driver duplex file Description Software
btlan hpbtlanconf
btlan0 hpeisabtconf
btlan1 hpbasetconf
btlan3 hpbase100conf Internal (core) LAN card
btlan4 hpgsc100conf
btlan5 hppci100conf "external" PCI card A5230A
btlan6 hpsppci100conf V-class PCI lan card
gelan hpgelanconf GigaBit card A4926A


All the files are in /etc/rc.config.d
If youre going to do it online you should test it from the console by doing /sbin/init.d/net stop then start.

For the netmask, it's the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file for all interfaces:

#lan0:

IP_ADDRESS[0]=4.3.2.1
SUBNET_MASK[0]=255.255.255.0
INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan0
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[0]=4.3.2.255
INTERFACE_STATE[0]=up
DHCP_ENABLE[0]=0
ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]="default"
ROUTE_MASK[0]=""
ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]=gateway
ROUTE_COUNT[0]=1

#lan1:

IP_ADDRESS[1]=4.3.2.2
SUBNET_MASK[1]=255.255.255.0
INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan1
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[1]=4.3.2.255
INTERFACE_STATE[1]=up
DHCP_ENABLE[1]=0
ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="default"
ROUTE_MASK[1]=""
ROUTE_GATEWAY[1]=gateway
ROUTE_COUNT[1]=1

... and any other interfaces, based on what is in the [] brackets.

I'm not sure, but I believe the card speed is set up in /etc/rc.config.d/hpbase100conf

Cheers!

netconf is where you have the settings for your netmask, but you may control your speed through the hpetherconf, or equivalent file -

speed is in bits, I believe

Hi Marcin:

For your btlan1 card (HP-PB 100 Base TX product; #A3495A) you should set the speed to "100FD". This turns off auto-negotiation. This setting is made in '/etc/rc.config.d/hpbasetconf' on pre 11.11 servers and in '/etc/rc.config.d/hpbtlanconf' on 11.11.

Regards!

hello,

You need to edit two files:
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf - netmask
/etc/rc.config.d/hpbasetconf- speed of 100BT lan card.
