Error while changing the IP address

[Abhishek_Kumar]

We are trying to change the ip address of LAN0
The error we are getting is
/usr/sbin/hpintl100_init script failed
ERROR: lan0 interface | PPA 0 : error: expected primitive 0x06, got DL_ERROR_ACK | |-|
dl_error_primitive = 0x33

dl_unix_errno = 57

>> This might be the issue with switch, hub, or cable connector.

>> Please check with the lancable
Try to run
# linkloop -i 0

For lan0 where the issue of not able to change IP address arise

ifconfig: lan0: flags=843

Ah !! linkloop not working.
Hence there is a connectivity issue at the Physical layer..

What is the OS version
What is the H/W Platform
Try to swap the lan cables and check if linkloop works fine

Probably you could try to directly connect the server to you laptop and check if linkloop is working.

Same error

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom,

Best bet is to manually change /etc/rc.config.d/netconf IP address and boot the system.

Yes you CAN do it without a reboot but it will take longer and likely lead to more hassle than its worth.

Hi Avinash/Steven,

I am able to change the IP address connected to the other lancards. I have used the same cable to connect to the other lan card and am able to change the IP of other lans.. Only the issue is with lan0

Any help is highly appreciated.

[Avinash20]

Sorry.. This was for Steven and not for me..

I have already put the comments which Abhishek should has shared with me,,

[Abhishek_Kumar]

Thanks Avinash !!

[Abhishek_Kumar]

Thanks Avinash !!

The issue is resolved..

Lan cable was connected to MP instead of lan0 slot

After connecting the cable to the lan0 slot the issue is resolved.
