Configure Network without SAM

[Jerry Sommerville_2]

I have a new 3440 server where I have configured the IP, netmask and broadcast address in netconf, but the system does not see the network. I have verified the switch connectivity, the IP address, gateway address, broadcast address. What have I missed?

Jerry,

It seems to me like you've pretty well covered it. I would try runnin "/sbin/set_parms initial" which will lead you through all the initial network/hostname/timezone/etc parameters to make sure you didn't miss anything.

Thanks Pete, one of my collegues spotted a type in the broadcast address when I re-ran the setup. Sometimes it takes looking at things with a different pair of eyes. Points assigned.

Reran set_parms initial, spotted type in network broadcast.

Hi Jerry:

Make sure that you specified a default gateway in '/etc/rc.config.d/netconf' :

ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]=default
ROUTE_COUNT[0]=1

hi ,

Check the boradcast address you have configured one more time . Do ioscan and find out the driver and s/w status.

Also test the connectivity to a remote host using linkloop .

on remote server find the mac address of the port connected to ths same switch using
lanscan .

on this server do linkloop -i PPA Number Remote MAC-adress.


thx,
bl.
