[j773303]

I have 2 lan card in my HP UNIX Server.
One lan card was configured OK. But another is
faild. When I typing

ifconfig lan2 210.68.114.7 netmask 255.255.255.240

it shows the error message as below:
ERROR : lan2 interface:ioctl(SIOCSIFADDR):can't assign requested address

Could someone tell me what happend?

Thanks

Try it like this:

# ifconfig lan2 210.68.114.7 up netmask 255.255.255.240

Maks sure that you update the appropriate entries in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf for next time the system reboots.

Two choices - use ndd to set ip_check_subnet_addr to 0 (also in /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf), or upgrade to 11i, where that is the default.
