Ux 11.00 on a D210

[Jeroen Muurling]

I have installed ux 11.00 on a D210 but I have some problems with the internal NIC.
Lanman says the card is up and running but when I want to configure is it will not work.
Can some1 help me ?

Hi.

Try # ifconfig lan0
If the it returns running..
check the internet services in /etc/inetd.conf
especially telnetd is enabled or not.

Check the you get responses from all of these.

#ping localhost

#ping

# ping `hostname`

If all are OK, try to ping from any system this host with .

I tried the ifconfig lan0 and it returns "no such interface"
Ping localhost works.

Maybe I am missing a driver for the build in lan ?

Hi,

Please post out put of

# ioscan -fnC lan
&
# lanscan

If "ifconfig lan0" returns "no such interface", then interface is not configured.
Drivers are selected and loaded automatically while loading the OS.
Are your patches are uptodate?

I found out what was wrong !!
It was something with the netmask.
I commented out the netmask in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf, rebooted the system and it looks that it is working now.

Can some1 tell me what I did wrong in the past ?

/etc/rc.config.d/netconf.

HOSTNAME="hpunix1"
OPERATING_SYSTEM=HP-UX
LOOPBACK_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1

INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan0
IP_ADDRESS[0]=10.0.0.151
#SUBNET_MASK[0]=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[0]="10.0.0.255"
INTERFACE_STATE[0]="up"

Hi,

The IP address and mask everything should be in double quotes (").

See out put from my system

# grep -v ^# /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

HOSTNAME="server1"
OPERATING_SYSTEM=HP-UX
LOOPBACK_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1

INTERFACE_NAME[0]="lan0"
IP_ADDRESS[0]="192.168.0.4"
SUBNET_MASK[0]="255.255.255.0"
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[0]=""
INTERFACE_STATE[0]=""
DHCP_ENABLE[0]=0

GATED=0
GATED_ARGS=""

RDPD=0

RARP=0

#

Possibly this is the reason.

I tried to use the " around the netmask but it didn't work. It works when I comment it out so it's resolved.

You do not need the double quotes in netconf unless the value being set has a blank in it -- it's just a normal shell variable definition.

Your problem has to do with non-CIDR (google it :) addressing. In classic, classful (non-CIDR) addressing, subnet 0 and -1 (all 1's ; e.g. ffff) are not allowed.

Your address, 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 has a classful network component value of "10" and a subnet component value of "0.0".

If you *really* want the network/subnet to be 10.0.0 (i.e., you've got other boxes on the network that already happily use it), you'll need to set CIDR addressing in hpux (i.e., don't check subnet value):

# ndd -get /dev/ip ip_check_subnet_addr
1
# ifconfig lan2 10.0.0.11 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCSIFNETMASK): bad value

# ndd -set /dev/ip ip_check_subnet_addr 0
# ifconfig lan2 10.0.0.11 netmask 255.255.255.0
# ifconfig lan2
lan2: flags=843
inet 10.0.0.11 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255

Note that using 'ndd' is not a permanent change and it will be lost after a reboot. Thus, you also have to put the above ndd config change into the file

/etc/rc.config.d/nddconf
.

Otherwise, you can simply use a non-zero subnet, as in:

.... ifconfig lan0 10.0.1.11 netmask 255.255.255.0

Another note about ndd. It is indeed the tool to fix small subnet masks (and to disable gateway probes) but due to a number of bugs, you must install the latest patch for ndd or it will ignore the ndd config file: /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf. You can verify this by setting a parameter manually, then read the value back using ndd. Now make the changes in nddconf and use ndd's -c option to see if it works. If so, it will continue to work after a reboot.
