Auto-Port Aggragation and netstat -in

[MTSU_SAN]

i have to go take the side of the V box off to check there, but last time I checked N, yes link lights and activity lights on lan100.
I don't know what a linkloop is.
dmesg shows nothing about the lan cards, except for the four ports on the Nclass that are not hooked to anything, and the normal initiation of all of the ports. Here are some messages from OLDsyslog for lan4, which doesn't seem to have any problems (will be SG Heartbeat, one day)

Jerry,

Make sure you have link and activity on lan100 as well as lan101. Check the "known good" lan (either lan4 or lan100) with the and see if it returns ip information. I would agree that the dmesg and syslog appear normal. The syslog appears to show loopback failure on the AUI and BNC ports so I'll assume you're using the RJ45 port of that interface.

Linkloop does a hardware level check of the interface using the link or MAC address. The syntax is something like:

linkloop [-i PPA] [-n count] [-r rif] [-s size] [-t timeout] [-v] linkaddr ...

see - man 1m linkloop

Jerry,

One other thing to look at since this involved reboots. On the V2500, I believe the correct file is /etc/rc.config.d/hpsppci100conf. On the rp7400, it will either be hpbtlanconf or hppci100conf depending on what driver you're using where hpbtlanconf is for the btlan driver and the hppci100conf is for the btlan5 driver. At any rate, look at the file and note the "speed" stateman for the lans. Obviously it depends on what kind of switch, etc. However, make sure they are set for 100FD if supported by your switch. Do not set them to AUTO as this can cause failures.

It should look something like this:

XXX_INTERFACE_NAME[0]: Name of interface (lan0, lan1...)
XXX_STATION_ADDRESS[0]: Station address / MAC address of interface.
XXX_SPEED[0]: Values are : 10HD, 10FD, 100HD, 100FD, 1000FD, auto_on

If you are having a speed mismatch, the aggregate interface cannot be formed properly.

HTH,

Dave

Jerry,

Did the "Speed" fix your problem?

Assign as 0 please...
