NIC setting

I am wondering if anyone can tell me if it is possible to change the speed of my lan card ?

The card shows as
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
===================================================================
lan 0 8/16/6 lan2 CLAIMED INTERFACE Built-in LAN
/dev/diag/lan0 /dev/i4target
/dev/ether0 /dev/lan0

Checked SAM and the speed shows 10HD. I wish to change to 10FD. SAM does not allow a change and neither does landmin -x / -X

This card is I the built in LAN card on a D370 running 10.20.

Are there any patches I could get to allow 10FD speed ?

Thanks
Paul

Re: NIC setting

Hi,

Run 'lanadmin -X 100FD 0' and see the error. If it says "hardware does not support.." then it doesn't.

The built-in lan of D370 supports only 10HD I believe.

Those built in cards do not respond to lanadmin change commands because they can not change.

The only thing you can try is setting in /etc/rc.config.d/hpbtlanconf

Its likely to produce an error and no network connectivity so make sure you have a console or something hung off the box.

I thought that card can go full duplex though, so I'd look at the switch setting as a possible impediment.

Attaching my hpbtlanconf, use it with care and a backout plan. Note mine is an example on a 100 BT card, modify appropriately.

Re: NIC setting

Hi

I think it may only support 10HD, as when I try
# lanadmin -x 4
Error: This option is not supported for this hardware.

Have not actually tried a large -X yet as the machine is not local to the office !

Just wondered if there were any patches.
I have not got a hpbtlanconf file either !
May have to get a new card !
Thanks

I believe it is only 10HD....

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/pdf/A3262-90013.pdf

Try the lanadmin command

lanadmin -X 10FD 0

If it fails - then it is not supported....
