Once your HP-UX
LAN software is installed, fully configured and running, you should
execute the following commands to verify LAN hardware and software
installation. See the man pages for complete descriptions of the
commands listed below.
Check the state of all LAN hardware. To do so execute the lanscan command and verify that the Hardware State is UP.
Check the state of the network interface. To do
so execute ifconfig on the interface you wish to verify. The example
below will provide information about the lan0 interface.
Verify link level loopback
connectivity using the linkloop command with the PPA and station address of the
interface you want to test. You can obtain the station address (typically
0x080009######) and PPA from the lanscan command output. The example below will test the
connectivity of the LAN card with PPA 4 and station address 0x080009266C3F.
linkloop -i 4 0x080009266C3F |
Verify that the /dev/lan and /dev/snap files have been created and symbolically linked to
the /dev/dlpi file.
ls -l /dev/lan
ls -l /dev/snap |
To check
that the your system can communicate with other systems, enter the ping command at the HP-UX prompt. In this example,
191.2.1.2 is the IP address of the remote system. Enter [Ctrl]-C to stop ping.
HP-UX LAN installation is verified if the steps above are
successful. For information on troubleshooting HP-UX LAN configuration
and operation, refer to the section“Diagnostic
Flowcharts” in Chapter 4 “Troubleshooting
HP-UX LAN”
