Configuring LAN interfaces Fail

[Bhavin Shah]

Dear ALL,

I hv 4*L2000 servers and are configured in NFS. Suddenly one server has started giving problem after reboot, In booting process it gives error as FAIL while Configuring LAN interfaces, when the system comes up in ioscan it it shows claimed for lan0 but in ifconfig it says No such interface.

while in next reboot it displays same error at the boot time but this time in ifconfig it is showing UP and its working.

What could be the reason for this intermitent problem.

What does 'lanscan' tell you? Compare the output of this command with the configuration in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf, to see if the right cards are configured.

Also, what error message shows up in /etc/rc.log for Start LAN Interfaces?

Share and Enjoy! Ian

This could be due to a bad cable, bad hub/switch port, or even bad configuration in the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file.

check these.
