Get NIC linkspeed and setting NOT THROUGH SAM

[Gene Laoyan]

How can I get the network cards linkspeed (100Mbit or 1000Mbit) and it's duplexing settings without going into SAM.

Thanks

lanadmin -x PPA

You can get the PPA for the NIC from lanscan.

lanadmin -x 0

will do the trick. The 0 corresponds to the PPA or instance number, obtained from lanscan.

# lanscan
Hardware Station Crd Hdw Net-Interface NM MAC HP-DLPI DLPI
Path Address In# State NamePPA ID Type Support Mjr#
10/0/12/0 0x001083CFA5E5 0 UP lan0 snap0 1 ETHER Yes 1

# lanadmin -x 0
Current Config = 100 Full-Duplex MANUAL

Use lanscan to determine the 'lan?' number (lan0, lan1, etc.).

The use lanadmin to check the card.

If you want to check lan0, then you use the 0 part of lan0 (just use the digit from lan? if HP-UX 11.0 or higher):

# lanadmin -x 0

This will return the speed or AUTONEG if auto negotiation is on.

lanadmin===>l===>d
or
ifconfig lan0
or
lanscan

[Patrick Wallek]

ifconfig will NOT tell you anything about linkspeed / duplex. Neither will lanscan.

Hey;

The script I use is attached. Output as follows:
# /root/bin/verify_nic
usildb23 lan1* 0 On. 1000 Full-Duplex.
usildb23 lan1* none On. 1000 Full-Duplex.
usildb23 lan2 135.3.52.166 Off. 100 Full-Duplex.
usildb23 lan3 135.3.16.65 On. 1000 Full-Duplex.
usildb23 lan4 135.3.14.129 On. 1000 Full-Duplex.
