Configuring lan interface with SAM

[Danny Engelbarts]

Hi there,

I've just configured a lan interface, which is not yet connected, manually. But now when i run SAM it still says it's "not configured" i assume this is because the interface is still down?

Try ifconfig lanX up

If it still doesnt show as being up from the lanscan command or netstat -in command
then try running the network startup script; /sbin/init.d/net start

Yes, it's like this!

Does the new card configured shows up in lanscan output? make sure that the lan config is updated "/etc/rc.config.d/netconf" before executing "/sbin/init.d/net start" which in your case must have already been done since you had configured lan through sam

[Vincente Fernandes]

If it is an HPGSC card then "/etc/rc.config/hpgsc100conf" needs to be updated also and restarted with "/sbin/init.d/hpgsc100 start"

Hi,

1.check the lan cable link to the HUB.

2.check the lanscan command
It should show the H/W stat to up.
3.check "ioscan -fnC lan output
It should show all the lancard's
S/W state to "CLAIMED".This shows the
Lan driver is installed properly.

Now Enable the Interface with SAM.
it should work.

Thanks

Until the interface is physically present(connected to the network), that is exactly the behaviour that you will see.

Thanks!

It is indeed as i thought, if the interface isn't connected to the lan SAM will report it "NOT CONFIGURED" instead of DOWN ... the moment it is connected everything configured by hand shows up in SAM as well ....
go figure.
