  1. Use the ls -l command to verify that the HP FDDI/9000 device files, with major numbers of 191 for Series 800, have been created correctly for each FDDI adapter installed. Type the following HP-UX commands:

    cd /dev

    ls -l lan*

    Series 800: Series 800 device files are created and bound to the I/O subsystem during system boot-up.

    The major number for HP-PB FDDI cards on Models 8x7, E, F, G, H, I, K, and T500 computers is 191. The minor number is 0xnn0000 where nn is the byte for the card instance number. The first card has a card instance number of 0. If additional cards are added to the system, index values will be assigned in numerical sequence as the cards are installed on the system.

  2. Check that the network interface state is up using the ifconfig command:

    /usr/sbin/ifconfig

  3. Check that the hardware state of your FDDI adapter is up using the lanscan command:

    /usr/sbin/lanscan

The lanscan command will display only the DLPI major number. Use ls -l lanX to verify the device files in the /dev directory.

If the major numbers, minor numbers, or device file names are not correct, delete the device file entries from your /dev directory and recreate them with the correct numbers using the mknod(1M) command.

If you want to configure your system for network connectivity, continue with the next section, "Configuring Network Connectivity." If not, continue with "Verifying Remote System Configuration."
