How to check speed & duplexity of my network interface.

[Rana_2]

I have HPUX 11 & 4 interfaces

lo0 4136 127.0.0.0
lan1 1500 192.168.12.32 lan0* 1500 none
lan2* 1500 none
lan3 1500 192.168.12.0
lan3:1 1500 192.168.12.0 lan4 1500 192.168.15.0

How can i check speed & duplexity not using lanadmin ??????

Thanks,
Rana

Use SAM ..

# sam
select "Networking and Communications"
select "Network Interface Cards"
select your NIC using SpaceBar
Go To "Actions" tab using TAB
Select Modify

This will list all the parameters for your NIC.. if they are Okay you just select "Cancel" and come out or go ahead and modify as per your requirement.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your replay ,
But i still need this to be done using command line.

Hi,

Try using lanadmin. See man pages for lanadmin.

Rana then lanadmin is the best solution....

We can use vsar tool for this. It can be use to track the speed,data transfer and duplexity.

It is more helpful to track the network packet transmission. We have to build it.

LAN Driver Link Link IN OUT IN OUT Total Total
Name Library Speed MTU packet packet Mb/sec Mb/sec Error Dscrd
lan0 intl100 100Mb 1500 27 53 0.01 0.03 0 0
lan1 igelan 100Mb 1500 0 0 0.00 0.00 0 0
lan2 btlan 10Mb 1500 0 0 0.00 0.00 0 0
ALL 27 53 0.01 0.03


Other than, lanadmin is the only admin tool which used command line.

lanscan and lanadmin

Run lanscan first, to see ppa number, then:

For ppa 5:

lanadmin -x 5
Speed = 1000 Full-Duplex.
Autonegotiation = On.


Here's a little script to use as a test:

for i in `/usr/sbin/lanscan | awk '/ETHER/ {print $3}'`; do
x=`/usr/sbin/lanadmin -x $i 2>&1 | awk -F= '{print $2}' | sed -e 's/^ *//' -e 's/ *$//'`
echo $x
done

What is the reason that lanadmin is not an option? Maybe that will help us help you better? lanadmin -x 1 Where 1 is PPA number is the only way to do this from the command line with built in HP commands.

Thanks all, My problem with using lanadmin I was not able to get ppa since Geoff Wild help me in this issue, I will follow his scripts.

Thanks Again,
Rana

We can college all PPA numbers using lanscan -p command.

Collect the PPA number with lanscan -p and give that to lanadmin -s number.

# speed
set -x

set -A ppa `lanscan -p`
set -A name `lanscan -i | awk '{ print $1 }'`
i=0
cnt=${#ppa[*]}
while [[ $i -lt $cnt ]]; do
speed=$(lanadmin -s ${ppa[$i]})
limit=$(echo $speed | cut -d '=' -f 2)
echo "${name[$i]} speed = $((limit/1000000))Mbits/second"
let i=i+1
done

Above script will give your the speed.

Rana,

I saw somewhere you can use ndd which is widely used on SUN Soloris boxes. I don't have a HP-UX handy to check. But I have used it SUN servers.
Try man pages for ndd.

Good Luck
