determine speed of built in lan?

[jim bidebo]

How do you determine if a built in lan card is 10Mbit or 100Mbit (10/100)?

# ioscan -fC lan
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
===================================================================
lan 0 8/16/6 lan2 CLAIMED INTERFACE Built-in LAN

i know it runs at 10Mbit atm...

Hi

this is the command for finding out the speed of the lan .


# lanadmin -s NMID/PPA
This will return only the speed the card is running.

# lanadmin -x NMID/PPA
As long as you have the Lan Cumulative patch that gives you this
capability, it will return the speed/duplex that the card is
running.

# lanadmin -X 100FD NMID/PPA
This will change the speed of the lancard .

Which OS version, and what model HP is it?
lanadmin is probably the best:
type:
lanadmin
choose lan
if the core lan card is the selected, chosse display and you should see something like:

Description= lan0 Hewlett-Packard 10/100 TX Half-Duplex

or for my internal lan:

Description= lan1 Hewlett-Packard LAN Interface Hw Rev 0

Hi melvyn

the command lanadmin -x is not a prefer method to use ?

i know that this command is working also in 10.20 and 11.00 .

can you please reply

[harry d brown jr]

The quickest way is to run "lanadmin". Execute the command "lanadmin", select "lan", then select "display". Beside the heading "Description" is the speed of the card. But the actual speed it is running at is listed beside "speed".

If you have more than one network interface you should run lanscan first. Note the number under the column "NM/ID". For each interface, in lanadmin, you can select each card by entering in "nmid" in the "lan" area.

ie:

lanscan:

# /usr/sbin/lanscan
Hardware Station Crd Hardware Net-Interface NM MAC HP DLPI Mjr

so by this information i could asume that its only a 10Mbit card?

[melvyn burnard]

That is correct

[Ron Irving]

Hi...

I'm also running 10.20, and have the exact results you did for lanadmin display. I know that I have a 10Mbit card, so I think it's safe to assume you do to.

see ya

ron

[rick jones]

as a matter of fact, ALL NIC's driven by the "lan2" driver are 10Mbit/s half-cuplex only. the lan2 driver drives an Intel 82596 (iirc) chip which is 10Mbit/HD only.

The core interface of a D, K, or anything older is such an interface. That includes the A180 and A180C. Any "7XX" workstation core interface will be the same as well as the B where XXXX is < 180 (with the exception of the B132L+ - but not the B132L) and an C series where XXXX is less than 200. Similarly, any J Series < 2240 has a 10Mbit/s only core NIC.

The 10/100 NICs are driven by the "btlan" family of drivers. These would include the HSC and PCI add-on cards as well as the "core" interfaces on the L, N, V, and SuperDome systems, the A[45]00 and virtually all the "four digit" workstations.

Hi,

To followup with two pieces of information:

To determine the speed and mode of a 100BaseT card, first determine the "NMID" (10.20) or "PPA" (11.0 up) of the lan card in question with "lanscan". Then use lanadmin -x on 10.20 or lanadmin -x on 11.0 up.

The HP Network Lab has an EXCELLENT web page with all kinds of interesting support tips and configuration infos for 100BaseT/FastEthernet:

Hope all this helps,
