you can edit the file for network: /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

in this file you can specify the configuration for each network interface.

Run lanscan, find the name i.e. lan1 etc...

Then use ifconfig to configure that interface...


ifconfig inet lan1 netmask 255.255.255.0 address 10.10.10.10 etc...

run a man on ifconfig to make sure your specific needs are met.

Yes you can use ifconfig but i think that the configuration will be lost after a reboot.

Hi Navin,

A lot of options:

1) Run 'set_parms'
2) Edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file
3) Use 'ifconfig' command ( not permanent)

Also make sure that the card is identified (ioscan -fn). Check the card status with lanscan and netstat -ins.

HTH,
Shiju

You must edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and you may have to edit files like hpbtlanconf,hpetherconf,hpbase100conf just to name a few. This will all depend on your use of the network card and your environment.

Hi Navin,

you can use /sbin/set_parms to set the parameters,

if you want to reconfigure the hostname, ip address, dns etc, use

/sbin/set_parms initial

otherwise use,

The other options are
hostname : set hostname
ip_address : configure ip address
timezone : set timezone
date_time : set time and date
root_passwd : set root password
addl_netwrk : set additional network / DNS / NIS info

You can also edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf to manually edit the configuration file.

Hope this helps.
