ifconfig dosent work

[David Willams]

# ifconfig -a
ifconfig: no such interface

hp-ux doesn't work this way. You need to use something like:

ifconfig lan0 and etc..

Hi David:

There is no '-a' switch to HP-UX's 'ifconfig'. You need to specify the lan interface. You can obtain these from 'lanscan'.

# lanscan
# ifconfig lan0

Hi (again) David:

In fact, you could do:

lanscan -i|while read LAN X
do
ifconfig ${LAN} 2>/dev/null
done

or even better:
man ifconfig
