A question about lan

[Wang,MinJie]

Hey it's me again
I have a b2000 system and several lan cards in it and now everytime I boot the system no lan card is up.
So I have to reset the lancard i want to be up with lanadmin
Can you help me to up the card automatically when the system is up

Did you configure /etc/rc.config.d/*lan files?

what is there in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf on related with INTERFACE keyword. Every interface has to be configured with that to get permanet effect.

Hi,

The simplest way to configure lan cards is to use SAM.
Go to SAM/Network/Network cards and insert all needed information. BTW, you can even set negotiation and speed.
All this data is inserted into /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and a file in the same directory, the file name depends on type of the lan.
Please take into account that some types of lan cards can not be activated if in the boot time they were not connected to hub/switch

Shalom Wang,

set_parms is a SAM like script that lets you set up networking.

You should make sure the CAT-5 cable is connected to a hub or switch. When the system is running there should be an indicator light that shows link to the network.

ioscan -fnC lan

This will as root show you the status of the lan hardware. It could of course have failed on you.

Lastly for testing is cstm, mstm or xstm

Hey
Guess what?
I got what caused the card to not be up automatically:the other lancard which was configured to be up automatically wasn't connected a cable.So when the system was up,all the lancard swas down for the missed cable.
Can you explain it?

Is there any error messages in /etc/rc.log when starting up /sbin/init.d/net startup file.

You have to check physical connectivity related problems manually.
