differences between lanadmin -x on HPUX 10.20 and 11

[Robert Dukes]

We are running lanadmin -x on HPUX 10.20 to get details of NIC speed/Duplex/Auto Neg. The output of this command seems to differ slightly from that on HPUX 11. On 10.20 it displays the output as:

Current Speed = 100 Full-Duplex

On 11.00 is displays the output as:

Current Config = 100 Full-Duplex MANUAL

My question is for 10.20. Is the assumption if there is nothing after 'Full-Duplex', that Auto Negotiation is NOT set - In the output for 11, it outputs either MANUAL or AUTONEG.

Unfortunately we havent got a card in AUTONEG mode to check this output.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Robert,

Look in your /etc/rc.config.d/hp*conf file to see how the card was set. The conf file you're using is based on the driver for the card, which you can see with ioscan:

btlan hpbtlanconf
btlan0 hpeisabtconf
btlan1 hpbasetconf
btlan3 hpbase100conf
btlan4 hpgsc100conf
btlan5 hppci100conf
btlan6 hpsppci100conf

You should see something like "HP_BASE100_SPEED[0]=100FD". All 10/100 cards should be forced (i.e. manually set) to 100FD at both ends.
