No ifconfig -a in 11.11 v1?

[jmb]

Most other UNIX platforms let you look at all of your ethernet configs with "ifconfig -a". That doesn't work in v1, and I don't know of a workaround.

Does anyone know how to look at all of your ethernet settings with one command?

Check man lanscan, man lanadmin

ifconfig too, but no -a switch

HP-UX hasn't had the -a option ever (or at least as far back as my history goes to 9.0). It's easy enough to script though:

#!/usr/bin/sh
for NIC in $(lanscan | awk '{print $5}')
do
ifconfig ${NIC}
done

[Jeff_Traigle]

Oops... should leave out the header lines from lanscan :)


#!/usr/bin/sh
for NIC in $(lanscan -i | awk '{print $1}')
do
ifconfig ${NIC}
done

To view configuration of all configured interfaces use netstat -in.

All interfaces are shown (as Jeff described) with lanscan.

HP-UX sucks in this respect.
But if it helps you could define a shell func like this:

ifconfig() { if [[ $1 = "-a" ]];then /usr/sbin/lanscan -i|cut -f1 -d\ |xargs -n1 /usr/sbin/ifconfig;else /usr/sbin/ifconfig $*;fi; }

[Rasheed Tamton]

Do a lanscan

#lanscan
Hardware Station Crd Hardware Net-Interface NM MAC HP DLPI Mjr
Path Address In# State NameUnit State ID Type Support Num
0/28.1 0x097000D36E 1 UP lan1 UP 4 ETHER Yes 185
0/44.1 0x097009D0DC48 0 UP lan0 UP 5 ETHER Yes 185

Look for the NameUnit column
lan0, lan1, lan2 ,etc.

Then do;
ifconfig lan0
ifconfig lan1
ifconfig lan2
, etc. ...

This is the HP way of (ifconfig -a).

Hi,

try the script in the last post here:

Could be helpful.
Adjust if needed.

Thanks for your suggestions. Scripts can always be a work-around, but Armin's "netstat -in" was the easiest and quickest solution to what I was looking for.
