Problem with Network when system board replaced

[nipun_2]

Hi Volker,
I executed the commands you mentioned and it seems to indicate that I don't have EIA0 configured as I do not even get that name as can be seen in the log below (Also attached as Text File)

Note: I have two ethernet cards WE0 is already congfigured for cluster. I need to use the EIA0 for connecting to the internet.

So I believe I need to figure out the correct options with

$@tcpip$config

Nipun,

you do not have EIA0 configured in TCPIP. Otherwise it would show up as an 'ie0' device.

You need to figure out which IP address and network mask to use and run @TCPIP$CONFIG -> Core environment -> interfaces.

Why would swapping the system board make the TCPIP interface configuration for EIA0 disappear ???

> WE0 is already congfigured for cluster.

What does this mean? A VMScluster does not
use TCP/IP.

According to your LANCP output, _someone_ is
using EIA0. DECnet? What?

> $@tcpip$config

Start with "Core environment" - "Interfaces",
but it might pay to go through the whole
thing, and see what's what.

[Volker Halle]

WE0 may be used for cluster communication.

$ ANAL/SYS
SDA> SHOW LAN
SDA> EXIT

is the best tool to find out, which protocols are active on which network device.

On V8.3, SHOW DEVICE /FULL for LAN devices displays the protocol in use on each device.

For example . . .

Device EWA2:, device type DE500, is online, network device, error logging is
enabled.

Hi,
I choose the following when I executed the command

$tcpip$config

INTERFACE Configuration


The Ethernet device(s) on your system are: EWA0:
EIA0: * Not Configured *

Start of configuration questions for Internet interface WE0 instead of EIA0 which we want.


Note: Vol, you are right this has nothing to do with the hardware error and it's replacement. This (EIA0) just hasn't been configured.

Just agree with the current configuration of
the interface(s) which you like, and you
should eventually get to the one(s) which
you wish to change.

[Volker Halle]

Nipun,

EWA0 (we0) currently is the only LAN device configured for TCPIP on your system. If you want to configure EIA0 (ie0) as well, just don't change the EWA0 config and continue on to the next device, which will be EIA0. You need to know the correct IP address, name and network mask to configure that interface.

You need to restart TCPIP to activate the new configuration. You could also do this manually, a reboot - if possible - is the cleanest solution.

Volker.

[nipun_2]

Hi all,
Thanks for the response. Configuring EIA0 without touching EWA0 is exactly what I wish to do

However,
When I execute $@tcpip$config



I am providing the options I choose after choose
1) Core Environment -> Interface


=======log output==============

INTERFACE Configuration


The Ethernet device(s) on your system are: EWA0:
EIA0: * Not
Configured *

Start of configuration questions for Internet interface WE0.


WE0 is the Ethernet device EWA0:


Interface: WE0
IP_Addr: 10.35.221.122 NETWRK: 255.255.255.128 BRDCST:
10.35.221.127
C_Addr: C_NETWRK: C_BRDCST:

Flags:
Receive buffer: 0

HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Interface WE0 Reconfiguration
Menu

Reconfiguration options:

1 - Configure interface manually (Current
default)
2 - Let DHCP configure interface

[E] - Exit menu (Do not reconfigure interface WE0)

Enter configuration option: 1


So here I have only option 1 and 2 in which case it always goes to WE0 so how do go to EIA0?

[Volker Halle]

Nipun,

you should enter 'E' for Exit menu (Do not reconfigure interface WE0).

Then you will be taken to the configuration questions for the next device.
