HP-UX Manual Reference Pages
While installing, configuring, or troubleshooting Gigabit Ethernet, you may need to refer
to any of the following online manual reference pages (man pages) for useful HP-UX
operating system or Gigabit Ethernet commands. To display a man page, type the
following at the system prompt: man command name. For example, man arp.
• arp(1M) displays and modifies the Internet-to-station address mapping tables used
by the Address Resolution Protocol.
• hosts(4) is a database that contains a single line entry for each host name entry.
• ifconfig(1M) assigns an address to a network interface and configures and displays
network parameters.
• ioscan(1M) scans system hardware, usable I/O system devices, or kernel I/O system
data structures as appropriate, and lists the results.
• lanadmin(1M) resets or reports the status of the LAN card.
• lanconfig(1M) in HP-UX 10.20 sets/resets the packet encapsulation method for a
network interface.
• lanscan(1M) displays information about LAN cards that are successfully bound to
the system.
• linkloop(1M) verifies network connectivity through the Data Link Layer (OSI
Layer 2).
• netfmt(1M) formats common tracing and logging binary files.
• netstat(1) provides network statistics and information about network connections.
• nettl(1M) logs network events and traces packets as they enter and exit the Gigabit
Ethernet driver.
• ping(1M) verifies network connectivity through the Network Layer (OSI Layer 3)
and reports the round-trip time of communications between the local and remote
hosts.
• rad(1M) in HP-UX 11i performs OLA/R functions without any comprehensive
checks.
• route(1M) adds and deletes entries to the network routing table.
• sam(1M) configures networking software.
• swinstall(1M)loads software filesets.
• swverify(1M)verifies software installation.
