question #1 :
Not clear if I need to configure "hpbtlanconf" or "hp_apaportconf" ? I was thinking, since we are only using (1) port for lan1, I could just add lan1 to "hpbtlanconf" as follows:
#more hpbtlanconf

HP_BTLAN_INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan0
HP_BTLAN_STATION_ADDRESS[0]=
HP_BTLAN_SPEED[0]=100FD

#HP_BTLAN_INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan1
#HP_BTLAN_STATION_ADDRESS[1]=
#HP_BTLAN_SPEED[1]=100FD

question #2 :
Best way to setup aliases for hohp230 to 192.168.10.230 ?

Thanks for your help.

[Jeff_Traigle · Accepted solution]

Looks like you have it right for the hpbtlanconf file.

As for an "alias" for hohp230 to the second address, I assume you mean how to have two addresses assigned to the same hostname. A couple of employment assignments ago, I worked in a shop that had a production network and a management network for each server in their data center. They used the same hostname on both networks and it really caused them some some unnecessary confusion. Ideally, you want unique hostnames for each IP address, especially on the same host if for no other reason than tools on the host itself that need to resolve things backwards and forwards always gets the right answer.

[Patrick Wallek]

Since the driver is btlan, yes you can set up lan1 in the hpbtlanconf file to control speed/duplex.

I'm not sure I quite understand you 2nd question. Are you asking how to assign the name hohp230 to the ip address? If so, then you can do this locally via the /etc/hosts file. If you have a DNS serer on your network, you need to create an entry in the DNS server for 192.168.10.230 to map that to hohp230.

Thanks, I'll use another name like
hohp230lab

[Jerry_109]

what would the hosts file entry look like ?
10.254.110.230 hohp230.scif.com hohp23

192.168.10.230 hohp230.scif.com

Hello All,

I wanted my lan1 card to use the following route "192.168.10.1", so I entered the following command:
#route add 192.168.10.0 192.168.10.1 1
add net 192.168.10.0: gateway 192.168.10.1

What change do I make in the netconf file to
configure lan1 after reboot ?

[Jerry_109]

I added the following to netconf :

ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="net 192.168.10.0"
ROUTE_MASK[1]=""
ROUTE_GATEWAY[1]="192.168.10.1"
ROUTE_COUNT[1]=""
ROUTE_ARGS[1]=""

Does anyone know the command to stop/start
the network without bouncing the server ?
Is it :
cd /sbin/init.d
./net stop ; ./net start ?

[Deoncia Grayson_1]

/sbin/init.d/net stop
/sbin/init.d/net start

Is the commands you will use
