HPUX 11.0: Lan Card Configuration "ifconfig" Question

[LG Porter]

Using the "ifconfig" command, how do you restore a lan card to up status? Lanscan reveals the following information:
10/8/2/0 0x001083183FEE 4 UP lan4 DOWN 6 yes 75

Hi,

It appears that the operational status of your card is down. Verify this through the lanadmin command:

# lanadmin

Select "display". Select lan4 via the nmid 4. Check the administrative and operational status:

Administration Status (value) = up(1)
Operation Status (value) = up(1)

If the operation status is down, attempt to start it up by executing:

# ifconfig lan4 plumb
# ifconfig lan4 up

Hope this helps. Regards.

is the lan configured with an address?
i.e. does ifconfig an ip address?
if so, just do ifconfig lan4 up
