Setting Network Card Settings in HPUX 10.20

[Taylor Simpson]

SAM will not allow me to change the settings on the Fast Ethernet card from Half Duplex 10 MB to Auto negotiate. I get a message within SAM that the OS does not support making this change in SAM and the fields are displayed, but are greyed out.

What files do I need to edit manually to accomplish this?

Thanks for any help you can supply

May be the card you are trying to change settings does not support Full duplex or Auto-neg
Remember 100BT EISA cards only support half-duplex (no FD and auto-negotiation)

what is your server model and network card type? also what does the output of this command display:

ioscan -fnC lan

You should be able to do it manually by editing the file that pertains to the type of card you have. Check the attached spreadsheet to find the file associated with your card.

For example, on my L series the core card shows btlan in output from ioscan -fnC lan.
Looking at the table the file for that card is /etc/rc.config.d/hpbtlanconf

The contents of mine;
HP_BTLAN_INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan0
HP_BTLAN_STATION_ADDRESS[0]=
HP_BTLAN_SPEED[0]=100FD
HP_BTLAN_INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan1
HP_BTLAN_STATION_ADDRESS[1]=
HP_BTLAN_SPEED[1]=100FD

Post the output of this command:

ioscan -kfClan

On many old servers, the built-in LAN card is 10Mbit, half-duplex and cannot be changed. The grayed out fields may be for cards that do actually have additional choices like autonegotiate and 100 Mbits.

Thanks for the answers so far. The Server is an HP9000-Model K460. The Network card is an A3495-60001 HP-PB 10/100Base-TX Card.
The output from the ioscan command is:
lan 1 10/4/8 btlan1 CLAIMED INTERFACE HP HP-PB 100 Base TX card
lan 0 10/12/6 lan2 CLAIMED INTERFACE Built-in LAN.
I have the router port on the Cisco5500 that the Cat5 cable is pluged in to set to Half-Duplex 100, but cannot ping the server from the router and cannot ping the router from the server. The link lights indicate a good connection, and this is a known good cable.

One other thing - the OS is HP-UX 10.20

check /etc/rc.config.d/netconf
