arp_cleanup_interval error

[Kevin Westover]

When I boot my HPUX 11i system I get the following error in my /etc/rc.log file from the "S340net start" command:

invalid tunable names, arp_cleanup_interval for this modules,
for a list of valid names, use name '?'
ERROR: Failed to set ndd tunable parameters
"/sbin/rc2.d/S340net start" FAILED

I have checked the arp_cleanup_interval parameter in the /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf file and it looks good. This is the entry:

TRANSPORT_NAME[4]=arp
NDD_NAME[4]=arp_cleanup_interval
NDD_VALUE[4]=60000

Any ideas on this? I have seen this on several different systems. I don't notice any adverse affects to the system, but it would be nice to figure out why the error is showing up. Thanks.

Hi Kevin,

Do you have patch PHNE_25644, or later, installed on these systems? One of the fixes in this patch is:

( SR:8606129381 CR:JAGac86927 )
"ndd -c", does not support arp tunables in
/etc/rc.config.d/nddconf.

Please make sure this patch or a patch that supercedes it is installed on the system. Remember to install any dependent patches when you install an ARPA transport patch.

Regards,

Dave

I loaded the HP recommended patch PHNE_29887 and that fixed the problem. I no longer get the error regarding the arp_cleanup_interval. Thanks so much for your help with this.
