Configuring LAN interfaces Fail

[Bhavin Shah]

Dear ALL,

I hv 4*L2000 servers and are configured in NFS. Suddenly one server has started giving problem after reboot, In booting process it gives error as FAIL while Configuring LAN interfaces, when the system comes up in ioscan it it shows claimed for lan0 but in ifconfig ti says No such interface.

while in next reboot it displays same error at the boot time but this time in ifconfig it is showing UP and its working.

What could be the reason for this intermitent problem.

Check to see if the card it seated properly.

If you've got a support contract might be worth giving hp a ring.

Hi,

Sorry to inform you, this question should go to hpux networking section.

Please try to assign an IP to the interface and then try ifconfig lan0

e.g;

ifconfig lan0 inet 192.168.10.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

and then try
ifconfig lan0
It will show up

thanks

Manoj

Hi,

Take a look at the /etc/rc.log file to determine the exact cause of the FAIL during startup.

check the file
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf
for the right value set for the parameters.
INTERFACE_NAME[0]="lan0"
IP_ADDRESS[0]=" "
SUNET_MASK[0]=" "
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[0]=" "
INTERFACE_STATE[0]=" "
DHCP_ENABLE[0]=
IF it requires any changes you can edit it either manually ot you can use the command set_parms to chnage the required parameters.
