Using lanadmin on HP-UX 11.00

[Sonison James]

I was using the lanadmin -g mibstats option on HP-UX 11.11 to get desc of the network adapter. However on 11.00 this option is not there. Is there any way to get around this problem ? I dont want the menu option since I am using these inside a script.

# landadmon -g mibstats card_int_#

works on one of my 11.0 boxes. You may just need to get the latest LAN cumulative patch and try it. The latest for 11.0 is :

PHNE_28413

lanadmin won't work at all on certain built in LAN cards that only go 10 BaseT.

It should however work if patched(prior answer) on any 10/100 card.

Is there any other workaround? The machine in question is a customer machine and I dont have the luxury of installing the patch on his machine.

The lanadmin menu option seems to have the info I am looking for. Does anyone know of a way to convert the menu option to a command line option . I am not really a Unix expert but I heard that it could be done using a combination of pipes.

Hi,

here you go:

#!/sbin/sh
# Shell script that display the lan card # input to script
# for 10.20 replace ppa $1 with nmid $1
/usr/sbin/lanadmin -t <lan
ppa $1
display
quit
EOF
