Need a help to configure LAN adapter

[Abhijeet_3]

I have installed HP 10.20 on a D330 server.

I have assisgned IP address to this lan interface ( lan0 )

But when I use lanscan command , it shows Hardware state is UP , but Interface is DOWN ,
so I have tried to UP the interface using "ifconfig lan0 up '.

But still interface shows down.
Looking forward your help to resolve this issue.

Hi,
Try used landamin.Reset the Lan card.

# lanadmin


LOCAL AREA NETWORK ONLINE ADMINISTRATION, Version 1.0
Sun, Aug 10,2003 02:14:05

Copyright 1994 Hewlett Packard Company.
All rights are reserved.

Test Selection mode.

lan = LAN Interface Administration
menu = Display this menu
quit = Terminate the Administration
terse = Do not display command menu
verbose = Display command menu

Choose lan.

next change the nmid/ppa to reflect the one that you need to reset.

Next choose reset.

Good luck.

Malay ,

When I tried to reset using lanadmin, it gives me an error.

Expected premitive 0x06, got DL_ERROR_ACK.
Unable to reset LAN interface.

Is there any way to resolve this issue ?

To add ip to interface lan0:
# ifconfig lan0:1 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

To activate:
# ifconfig lanX:Y 1.2.3.4 up

where "lanX" is the device name, "Y" is a number start with 1.

To deactivate:
# ifconfig lanX:Y 1.2.3.4 down

Hi,
This might be a patch problem.I saw in one of the post regarding this.

May be try a linkloop command and post the output.

Hi

If the OS is 10.X ifconfig lan0:1 WONT work you will need to use ifconfig lan0 (as normal) & then ifalias lan0 add 193.164.192... (etc)

However try & check out the connectivity with linkloop, thi may give you a clue as to what is & is not working!!!

linkloop -i

You can get the MAC address of af a remote machine using lanscan.

If the linkloop fails you have either
a - used the command incorrectly
b - connectivity problem
c - a failed interface.
You need to use you skill & judgement to decide which!
