listing TCP/IP configurations

[Norman_21]

Could anyone advise what's the command in HP-UX that will work like ipconfig/all in MS-Windows, to show the NICs as well as TCP/IP Current Configuration assigned to each NIC.

Thnx

The following two commands should show you what you want.
e.g.
# ifconfig lan0

# lanscan

You can also view all of the current TCP/IP connections using:
# netstat -a

Hi,

You can use the lanscan command to show all NICs (I am pasting this so hope the format is OK!) :

# lanscan
Hardware Station Crd Hdw Net-Interface NM MAC HP-DLPI DLPI Path Address In# State NamePPA ID Type Support Mjr#
8/16/6 0x0060B018B5F7 0 UP lan0 snap0 1 ETHER Yes 119

And use "ifconfig " to get the configuration.

# ifconfig lan0
lan0: flags=843
inet 10.1.33.0 netmask fffff800 broadcast 10.1.33.255

Both commands are located in /usr/sbin.

Regards,

James.

The lanscan command will show each NIC, along with its path, hw address, card instance, Net Name-PPA, encapsulation and more.

The ifconfig command will provide the ip address and netmask assigned to the specified NIC. Issue the ifconfig commnd followed by the Name-PPA of the desired NIC (e.g. ifconfig lan0)

The domain that the host belongs to, as well as DNS servers can be found in the /etc/resolv.conf file.

Unfortunately, there is not a single command that will provide all of this info in a concise form (as far as I know).

You might want to do a man on each of these commands, as well as on resolv.conf.

To see the configured information .. not running necesseraly

look at the contents of /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

Another usefull command would be
ioscan -fnClan
netstat -rn
netstat -i

Let me make it "man netstat" and "man ifconfig" a lot of running configuration information can be extrapolated out of these commands.

Add these to the list above

[Christian Gebhardt]

lanscan | grep lan | awk '{print $5}' | xargs -l ifconfig

Thanks Guys,

All the options works fine it's just there is no option to show all in one output unless a script can do that!
However, the resolv.conf was not configured and I did the configuration by poining the HP-UX to another DNS server. I use to get an error msg "unable to qualify my own domain... short name.."
After I have add the CORP domain name that msg went away. I wonder if the hostname of the server must be registered or it should work without registration..
One more thing, I have sent and email to myself as a test using the mailx -s command but didn't get any email!!
Please advise.

hi,

For the NIC part, i have a script that gives me an output like below:
============================================================
home/yd> ./lan-speed.sh
Card at PPA 0 - IP Address: 192.96.14.9 - Speed = 100 F
ull-Duplex Auto-Negotiation-OFF
Card at PPA 1 - IP Address: 192.97.14.3 - Speed = 100 Full-Duplex
Card at PPA 2 - IP Address: 192.98.14.3 - Speed = 100 Half-Duplex
Card at PPA 3 - IP Address: Not assigned - Speed = 100 Half-Duplex
Card at PPA 4 - IP Address: Not assigned - Speed = 100 Half-Duplex
Card at PPA 5 - IP Address: 10.0.0.100 -
============================================================

For the local mail:
Please try to add an alias in /etc/aliases

and retry.

Edit your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

Make changes as below

DS

//find the DS entry and append smtp server name in

Dj$w.
//find Dj$w and append your domain name

save your file
DO a
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

Make sure that you can do a nslookup of the smtp server

#nslookup
#nslookup

The mail should work.

Hi,
If your server is accessible using a Public IP address in Internet and you need a name for your server to be mapped to IP address so that
anyone from anywhere in the internet can access your server using this name , say
yourserver.yourcompany.com . Then you have to
register your domain yourcompany with the help of registrar or administrator of .com domain.

If you want to only access the internet servers
by their name from your server But do not want to assign any name to your server for people to access in internet. Then simply point to your ISP's DNS server in resolv.conf.

To receive mails from Internet , you need to register a domain name.
