IP/subnet mask info

[u856100]

Can anyone remind me of the command used to instantiate a GUI menu stating information on a workstations networking config.
The GUI displays the
IP,
subnet mask
and default gateway

I have forgotten it and can't seem to find it on the forums search.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I don't recall one for HP CDE. Are you talking about Windows 98 ie. winipcfg?

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,

For a HP workstation, what is preventing you from opening a terminal window then run:

# lanscan # get mac address
# ifconfig lan0 # get ip and netmask
# netstat -rn # get default gateway

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for replying. It is definatley a function within HP-UX. I have used it before but cant remember what it was. It might have been the first part of a change process, such as set_parms.

I am able to get the information I need from /etc/rc.config.d/netconf but I like to be lazy,

thanks again

John

try set_parms ip_address

Hi John,

There's also: set_parms addl_netwrk

Be sure you have set $DISPLAY and have run the appropriate "xhost +" command (if needed) to get the GUI version.

Or if you want to check all settings or just start over you can run:

set_parms initial

But if you want the GUI then you have to export your DISPLAY as mentioned earlier or if you are already in a CDE "terminal" window just enter the command as I said and it will pop up the GUI for you.
