Troubleshooting 10/100Base-TX/9000

Diagnostic Flowcharts

Flowchart 5 Procedures

A.Execute: ifconfig <interface> <IP address> up. Execute ifconfig on the interface you want to configure in order to ensure that the interface is enabled. For example, to configure the 10/100Base-TX interface lan1, enter:

ifconfig lan1 192.6.1.17 up

For more examples of the ifconfig command, refer to the ifconfig(1M) online man page.

B.Execute: ifconfig <interface>. Execute ifconfig without the up parameter again on the interface you want to test to check the flag setting for the up parameter. For example, to check the 10/100Base-TX interface lan1, enter:

ifconfig lan1

C.ifconfig successful? ifconfig is successful if the output shows the correct Internet address and the flags:

<UP,BROADCAST, NOTRAILERS, RUNNING>.

Note: Make sure the UP flag is displayed.

D.Are flags correct? If flags are not correct, use the ifconfig command to correct them. If they are correct, go to step F.

Correct ifconfig flag settings.If ifconfig returns an incorrect flag setting, re-execute the command with the proper setting. For more information, refer to the ifconfig(1M) online man page. Start again with flowchart 5, as necessary.

E.Any error message returned?If ifconfig is not successful, and an error message appears, go to Step G. If no error messages appear, contact your HP representative.

F.Correct problem according to the message received.If you received an error message, make the appropriate corrections stated in the message and then begin this procedure again.
