How to determine lan configuration

[Jean-Michel GUY]

On a HP-Ux 10.20 server, I've to know how I manage the connexion with a switch. I have de 100Base T lancard but I don't know if I use "auto negociation" or not.
Which file contains this peace of information ?

You can use lanadmin -X to determine the lan speed/duplex and auto_neg features.

You can get the PPA/NMID from the lanscan command. You can also set the lan attributes using the -x option to lanadmin, or by editing the appropriate hp*lan* file in /etc/rc.config.d directory. Hope this helps.

Heres a nice little lan.sh script which will tell you;

Santosh got it reverse.

Actually,

The -x option is the
one which actually displays
the configuraion.

and the -X option actually sets the configuration (speed/mode).

A simple lanadmin -h (help)
would display the options
and their meaning.
