Network Configuration Worksheet

Fill out one worksheet for the networking data of each LAN port on the combination card you are installing.

Table 1-2 Network Configuration Worksheet

Data Type	Required/ Optional	Default	How to Configure (see Note 1)	Example
Internet Address	Required	0.0.0.0	SAM or `ifconfig` `or edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf`	196.6.20.2
Subnet mask	Required if using subnetting	Subnet mask not used	SAM or `ifconfig` or edit `/etc/rc.config.d/netconf`	255.255.248.0
Station address	Built-in but can be optionally changed	As shown on card	SAM or edit `/etc/rc.config.d/hpietherconf` or temporarily: `lanadmin -A`	0x0060b0c4012f
Host name alias for this network interface (card)	Required if the system is connected to more than 1 network	None	SAM or edit /etc/hosts	host1
Link configuration	Required	Autonegotiating	SAM or temporarily: `lanadmin -X`	`lanadmin -X auto_on ppa#` (if already turned off)
Link speed/duplex mode	Required	Autonegotiating	Hub or switch (see Note 2) SAM or temporarily: `lanadmin -X`	`lanadmin -X 100fd ppa#`
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit): Jumbo Frames	Optional	1500 bytes	SAM or edit `/etc/rc.config.d/hpietherconf` or temporarily: `lanadmin -M`	l`anadmin -M 9000 ppa#` (see Note 3 below)
Receive flow control	Optional	On	SAM or edit `/etc/rc.config.d/hpietherconf` or temporarily: `lanadmin -X`	`lanadmin -X fctrl off`

Note 1: To configure values permanently, edit the configuration files using SAM or an editor such as “vi”. Using lanadmin will not preserve your settings across reboots.

Note 2: The speed configuration of the card can be 10, 100, or 1000Mbps and is determined by the speed setting of the hub or switch port to which the card is connected. The card automatically senses this speed. The Base-T ports only run at one speed at a time. To verify the speed selection, run lanadmin -x ppa#.

Note 3: Following are the valid MTU sizes:

For normal frames using the iether driver on HP-UX 11i v 1.0, the MTU size is a number from 257 to 1500 bytes. On HP-UX 11i v 2.0, the MTU size for normal frames is a number from 1024 to 1500 bytes.
For jumbo frames using the iether driver on HP-UX 11i v 1.0 or HP-UX 11i v 2.0, the MTU size is a number from 1501 to 9000 bytes.
