Hi,

Sorry for the output..
your ip should be 168.218.96.189

You may use this tool to convert the hex ip

HI Naz, Thank you . I want to assign points . once i click kudos it is showing 1. but i want to give you more then 1 ..pls tell me how to do it ...this new HPSC it diff. for me :(

The lanscan command shows the MAC address, not the IP address.

If you don't have web access on the system, you can use the "bc" command:

# bc

ib=16

A4

164

...etc...

The "ib" stands for "input base" and when you type "A4" (with caps), it will show you the base-10 equivalent since the output base is still 10. Each part of an IP address is an 8-bit number, two hex digits.

Does anyone know whether dead gateway detection actually unplumbs the interface? How many failed pings does it wait before ceasing traffic to the allegedly dead gateway?

As you may have found out already, Ani, the HP system has ip_ire_gw_probe enabled, which causes it to ping the default gateway(s) every 3 minutes and disable the gateway if there's no response. If your router drops ICMP packets on the floor, this will affect any HP 11i system.

Hi Michael ,

This is whad i have saved , before all the bookmarks went bad ,

ndd -get /dev/ip ip_ire_status | grep -e IRE_GATEWAY -e flag   <==note

This results in a list of all gateways, the flags will indicate a dead gateway.
Another option ip_ire_gw_probe_interval is available which changes the
frequency in which such probes will be performed.

You can only assign one kudo to each post.  The only way to give a particular person more than one kudo would be if they had responded more than once - then you could kudo each response.
