configuring second ip address in lan900 APA

[Muhammad Farhan Nasir]

we have run below to configure second ip in APA.

"#ifconfig lan900:1 10.x.x.xx netmask 255.0.0.0"

but when server restart it is not accessible.

how to permanently configure this.

Hi,

How about checking for the following files or something similar... Permanent configuaration is always done in /etc/rc.config.d/...

/etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaconf
/etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf

Here is brief description how to assign virtual ip addresses - http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90796/ch06s11.html

And from ifconfig manual - A secondary IPv4 interface can be removed by assigning an IP address of 0.0.0.0 to it.

/etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaconf
/etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf

Without the name of the document, you'll have to search for it. Try:

Hi,

In short: Just copy the existing configuration, fill in the second config and change the indexes everywhere from 0 to 1, like this:

HP_APA_INTERFACE_NAME[0] --> HP_APA_INTERFACE_NAME[1]

The config is stored in arrays, by incrementing the index the actual config will apply to the next instance. Currently I don't have an HP-UX session in front of me, so I can't give you exact parameters. But as I remember, these config files are full of commented explantations, so it should be easy.

INTERFACE_NAME[1]=â lan900:1â
IP_ADDRESS[1]=â 192.168.1.125â
SUBNET_MASK[1]=â 255.255.225.0â
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[1]=â â
INTERFACE_STATE[1]=â â
DHCP_ENABLE[1]=â 0â

GPisutto's solution is almost perfect, but note that you are using different subnet mask according to the very first posting here above:

>ifconfig lan900:1 10.x.x.xx netmask 255.0.0.0"

so change it to

SUBNET_MASK[1]="Â Â 255.0.0.0"

and naturally review the other settings too, maybe you should use different values.

IP_ADDRESS[1]="10.x.x.x"
