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:

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 -Astation_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 -Mmtu_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 -xoption nmid/ppa

To set link parameters, execute:

$ lanadmin -Xoption nmid/ppa

where option specifies the operation to be carried out.
