NETWORK RELATED COMMAND - HPUX

FILES
* /etc/hosts - Hosts configuration file (resolve hosts and IPs)
* /etc/rc.config.d/netconf IP address, routeing address and hostname stored in this file
SCRIPTS
* /etc/init.d/net start Use to start, stop network service
HPUX Commands
(a) Display lan interface info:
# lanscan
(b) All in one lan configuration utility (lan0 is first Ethernet interface) to configure and
view the system IP address:
# ifconfig lan0 - Display IP info such as IP address netmask etc.
# ifconfig lan0 up - Up network interface (allow traffic)
# ifconfig lan0 down - Down network interactive (deny traffc)
# ifconfig lan0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up - Setup/change IP adddress
(c) Displaying host name
# hostname
(d) Arp administration (cache)
# arp -a
(e) Display routing table/info:
# netstat -nr
(f) Define new route:
# route add default 192.168.1.254 1
(g) HPs LAN diagnostic tool
# lanadmin
(h) Test a remote host connectivity
ping host.mycorp.com
(i) Setup various lan properties, dns client, NIS client configuration etc using GUI tool:
# sam
# set_parms
(j) Check dns connectivity:
$ nslookup www.google.co.uk
On 11.31 there is a new command to manage you network interfaces,as jmrey points out:
Regarding lanscan, in 11.31 is deprecated. Use nwmgr instead. It is much more powerfull
than lanscan and as you can see in the example below, you can obtain a lot of more info
about the network interfaces.

how to show network interface information in HP/UX
Description

To show network interface information in HP/UX:

# landiag

OR

# lanscan

OR

# netstat -in


To display the network interface cards and status
# lanscan Hardware Station Crd Hdw Net-Interface NM MAC HP-DLPI DLPI Path
Address In# State NamePPA ID Type Support Mjr# 0/0/0/0 0x00306E1CC281 0
UP lan0 snap0 1 ETHER Yes 119 1/12/0/0 0x00306E210F32 3 UP lan3 snap3
2 ETHER Yes 119
To configure the NIC cards such as speed, MTU, etc..
# lanadmin (it is a interactive tool)
To find out the speed of duplex setting of lan0
# lanadmin -x 0 Speed = 1000 Full-Duplex. Autonegotiation = On.
To list all the configured interfaces and IP addresses
# netstat -in
To force HP-UX to use specific interface card
# traceroute -i lan2 10.20.30.40
HP-UX stores network interface configuration information on /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file
# cat /etc/rc.config.d/netconf HOSTNAME="it-hp49" OPERATING_SYSTEM=HP-UX

To add a alias address to lan0, add the network information to /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file
INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan0:1 IP_ADDRESS[0]=216.131.195.138

Restart the network service
/sbin/init.d/net start
Network Tracing and Logging
The nettl command is a tool used to capture network events or packets.
Initialize the tracing/logging facility:
# nettl -start
Display the status of the tracing/logging facility.
# nettl -status all
nwmgr (Network Interface Management)
The nwmgr program is the unified command to administer all HP-UX LAN and RDMA interfaces.
This command can be used to:
Display information of an interface
Modify settings of an interface
Reset the interface or its statistics
Diagnose link connectivity
Create and set configuration information for a component simultaneously
Delete or erase components

To get interface statistics for interface lan0
# nwmgr --st all -c lan0
To View interface details
# nwmgr -q info -c lan0
To get interface vital product data
# nwmgr -q vpd -c lan0
To set interface attributes
# nwmgr -s -A attr1-value, attr2=value ... -c lan0
Reset statistics for an interface
# nwmgr -r --st -c lan<instance>
Some nwmgr Syntax and their Equivalent lanadmin and linkloop Syntax are given bellow
nwmgr -S vlan lanadmin -V scan nwmgr -c lan5000
