X.25 link speed

[bzr]

Hi all,

Please tell me how can i find the link speed of my X.25 wan interface card connected to an HP.UX 11.00 L1500 server.

Can i modify/increase that parameter ?

Thank you.

hi,

try this:

# lanscan
determine the instance number of the card or PPA, i.e. under column Crd In#

# lanadmin -s
e.g. lanadmin -s 1

this will tell u the link speed.

to set new link speed:

# lanadmin -S
which u must have superuser rights.

man lanadmin for more info.

regards

I don't think you can see the speed on X.25 I have tried the lanadmin on my BMP server running X.25.
It does not supplie any information.

You can see the X.25 cards with a lanscan.

A standard lanadmin command will not support information about X.25 cards. So it seems it is not possible.

I have tried get information through Glance but no info there.

Hi,

lanadmin will report nothing interesting for X.25. For X.25, you need to either look at the X.25 config file or you run x25stat -c -d /dev/x25_i (where i is your interface number) to get the active configuration parameters.

Under Level 1, you will get the linespeed, but it does not mean this is the speed the link is running at, this is the max link speed.

You have to look also at the throughput class and if throughput negotiation is enabled or not.
Throughput classes are explained in the X.25 manual, Table 3-10 (for instance, 13 means link speed is 64Kbps, 11 means 19200 bps). X.25 user' s guide is at:
http://docs.hp.com/en/netcom.html#X.25

Then if the throughput class negotiation is enabled, a negotioation may occur when a VC is opened with the other end.
