lanconfig utility not available in HP-UX 11.00

[RAVI B. HIREMATH]

I wonder why the /usr/sbin/lanconfig binary is missing in HP-UX 11.00, which was available in HP-UX 10.20. Is there any rationale behind this? Or Is provided by any subsequent HP-UX 11.00 OS Patch?

Try using 'lanadmin'. It works in both command line and has a menu of features as well.

Have a look at the man page 'lanadmin'

Have a look at /usr/share/doc/11.00RelNotes for the change from lanconfig in 10.20 to lanadmin on hpux11.0

use lanadmin to configure the lan cards.

Also check this document which should help you..

Hi

lanconfig has been retired for hpux 11.XX try lanadmin instead .

some side info for you , in fact lanconfig is an old HP-UX 9.x command , in the HP-UX 10.x implementation lanadmin was introduced but for continued support reasons lanconfig was kept alongside lanadmin , since moving to 11.x the older lanconfig has been fased out of the OS (as described before)

First, thanks for your help to all of you.
Actually one of the application was trying to
use lanconfig utility to enable/configure ieee 802.3 protocol. And hence it was getting failed for HP-UX 11.00.

thanks and regards,

Hi!

It seems that under 11 the option in the "/etc/rc.config.d/netconf" file
LANCONFIG_ARGS[x] is now obsolete.

under 10.20 the option used was

INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan0
LANCONFIG_ARGS[0]="ieee"

for connections to an ICL VME Mainframe, does anyone know how to achieve this functionality under 11?

the response centre have been somewhat helpful but keep pointing to encapsulation solutions when what is required is native IEEE
