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.
