How to Configure VLANs on HP-UX
Choose Configuration Method: Use SAM; Edit
vlanconf; Use lanadmin
There are three ways to configure VLANs: the first two methods preserve
configuration changes across reboots; the third applies changes
immediately but doesn’t preserve configuration changes across reboots:
To permanently save your configurations, you can either:
• Use the GUI-based system admin manager (SAM). To use SAM,
refer to the instructions in “Configuring VLANs Using SAM” in this
document for details, and then do the steps for verifying VLANs.
Using SAM reduces risk of errors and saves your data permanently.
If you use, SAM, configuration doesn’t require a reboot to take effect.
or
• Edit the /etc/rc.config.d/vlanconf configuration file using an editor
such as “vi.” Changes will not take effect until the next reboot. Refer
to “Configuring VLANs by Editing the vlanconf File” in this
document for instructions on editing the configuration file for
VLANs.
To temporarily configure VLANs on a live system, you can:
• Use the lanadmin command from the HP-UX command line.
CAUTION If you use the lanadmin command to administer VLANs, those changes
are not preserved across reboots. See “Using the lanadmin Command for
Administering VLANs” for details on the lanadmin command.
