Installing and Configuring 10/100Base-TX/9000
Compatibility and Installation Requirements
To list the current speed and duplex mode of the HP-PB 10/100Base-TX/9000 card, use the -xoption (NOTE: lowercase x) of the lanadmin command. Determine the speed and duplex mode of your hub or switch before performing manual configuration as follows:
lanadmin -xppa (HP-UX 10.30 or 11.0) lanadmin -xnmid (HP-UX 10.20)
To manually set the duplex mode of the interface, install one of the patches above and then use the -Xoption of lanadmin as follows:
lanadmin -X mode ppa (on HP-UX 10.30 and 11.0) lanadmin -X mode nmid (on HP-UX 10.20)
where
:mode can be any one of the following strings (and the fd or hd are case-insensitive):
10fd =10 full-duplex 10hd =10 half-duplex
100fd =100 full-duplex 100hd =100 half-duplex
and
lanadmin -X auto_on ppa (turns autonegotiation on for HP-UX 10.30 and 11.0)
lanadmin -X auto_on nmid (turns autonegotiation on for HP-UX 10.20)
The ppa is the physical point of attachment on HP-UX 10.30 or 11.0. On HP-UX 10.20, use the nmid or Network Management ID of the card. You can get the ppa (nmid) from the output of the lanscan command.
Example:
If the ppa (nmid on HP-UX 10.20) of the 100Base-TX interface is 5, the command to set the card to 10Mbits/s and full-duplex mode would be:
lanadmin -X 10fd 5After issuing the lanadmin -X, you must wait at least 11 seconds before attempting to use the specified network interface.
If you want the duplex mode setting to be effective in all subsequent reboots, you must enter the information in the following file:
/etc/rc.config.d/hpBasetconf
