NIC Configuration

[Balasiu Dan]

Hi!

I have a K360 HPUX10.20 machine and i would
like to check out the communication modus (half or full duplex) of the Ethernet Card.
(It?s a fast Ethernet card so the speed is
100Mbits/s)
Is there a possibility to change the configuration of the NIC?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

You can 'sam' which is the easiest. You need
to be 'root' to do this.

sam -->Networking and Communications -->
Network Interface Cards

Select the card(s) and use the pull-down menu
from actions --> configure to view the information

Be careful when making any changes, it may render the card unusable if the network has different parameters.

Hi!

I tried SAM prior to post the message;it hasn?t
the possibiity to view (change)the HDX or FDX modus.

thank you

Hi,

In /etc/rc.config.d/ directory you can find a config file coresponding to your NIC, for example hpbase100conf.

The file includes:

HP_BASE100_SPEED[0]=....(here you can put the correct speed and mode - for an example 100HD which means 100 MB/s and HalfDuplex.

Then you have to reconfigure NIC by executig script coresponding with your NIC, for an example:

/sbin/init.d/hpbase100

good luck,

you can use
lanadmin -x
to display and
lanadmin -X
to set theese parameters

You can get NMID by using the command:
lanscan

Hi Dan,

Use :
1. SAM,
2. Configure your /etc/rc.config.d/netconf or
3. lanadmin command
