Using the lanadmin Tool with Gigabit Ethernet
This section explains the options available in lanadmin to support the Gigabit Ethernet
driver and how to use them. The lanadmin(1M) tool is used to display and set
parameters, as specified by the following commands:
NOTE When your system is rebooted, settings that were made via the lanadmin(1M) command
will be lost. To retain configuration settings permanently in the configuration file
(/etc/rc.config.d/hpgelanconf or /etc/rc.config.d/hpigelanconf), use the SAM
utility or manually edit the configuration file.
To display the card’s station address, execute:
$ lanadmin -a
nmid/ppa
To set the card’s station address, execute:
$ lanadmin -A
station_addr nmid/ppa
where nmid is the Network Management Identifier (NMID) (for HP-UX 10.20) and ppa
is the Card Instance Number (also known as physical point of attachment or PPA) (for
HP-UX 11.0 and later). Both the NMID and PPA may be obtained from the lanscan(1M)
output.
To display the MTU, execute:
$ lanadmin -m
nmid/ppa
To set the MTU, execute:
$ lanadmin -M
mtu_size nmid/ppa
On HP-UX 10.20, the setting of the MTU should be followed by configuring the interface
with the appropriate IP address using ifconfig(1M). See the ifconfig man page for
details. The change in MTU should be verified, on all HP-UX operating systems, by
executing:
$ netstat -rn
To display link parameters, execute:
$ lanadmin -x
option nmid/ppa
To set link parameters, execute:
$ lanadmin -X
option nmid/ppa
where
option
specifies the operation to be carried out.
