Fill out one worksheet for each network card you are installing.

Table 1-2 Network Card Configuration Worksheet

Data TypeRequired/ OptionalDefaultHow to Configure (see Note 1)ExampleYour System
Internet AddressRequired0.0.0.0SAM or ifconfig or edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf196.6.20.2 
Subnet maskRequired if using subnettingSubnet mask not usedSAM or ifconfig or edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf255.255.248.0 
Station addressBuilt-in but can be optionally changedAs shown on cardSAM or edit /etc/rc.config.d/hpietherconf or temporarily: lanadmin -A0x0060b0c4012f 
Host name alias for this network interface (card)Required if the system is connected to more than 1 networkNoneSAM or edit /etc/hostshost1 
Link configurationRequiredAutonegotiatingSAM or temporarily: lanadmin -Xlanadmin -X
auto_on ppa# (if already turned off)		 
Link speed/duplex modeRequiredAutonegotiatingHub or switch (see Note 2) SAM or temporarily: lanadmin -Xlanadmin -X 100fd ppa# 
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit): Jumbo FramesOptional1500 bytesSAM or edit /etc/rc.config.d/hpietherconf or temporarily: lanadmin -Mlanadmin -M
9000 ppa# (see Note 3 below)		 
Receive flow controlOptionalOnSAM or edit /etc/rc.config.d/hpietherconf or temporarily: lanadmin -Xlanadmin -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 1000Mbit/s 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 card only runs 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.

Operating Distance for 1000Base-T (Copper UTP): Up to 100 meters — Cat 5 and Cat 5E



Optional Step: Configure Jumbo Frames Size (Jumbo frames are supported only at 1000 Mbit/s)
