Network Card Configuration Worksheet

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

Table C-1 Ethernet Card 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	Autoneg-otiating	SAM or temporarily: `lanadmin -X`	`lanadmin -X auto_on ppa#` (if already turned off)
Link speed/duplex mode	Required	Autoneg-otiating	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 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 card only runs at one speed at a time. To verify the speed selection, run lanadmin -x ppa#.

Note 3: The valid MTU range for the iether driver on HP-UX 11i v1 is 257 - 9000; for jumbo frames, the valid MTU size is any number from 1501 - 9000. For the gelan and igelan drivers on HP-UX 11i v1, the acceptable value is 1500 for normal frames and 9000 for jumbo frames. On HP-UX 11i v2, the MTU range for all 3 Gigabit Ethernet drivers is 1024 through 9000;on HP-UX 11i v2, the jumbo frame range is 1501 through 9000.
