• HP_BTLAN_SPEED.
b. Second, note that the index value used for the set of three parameters should be
unique for each interface. For example:
HP_BTLAN_INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan1
HP_BTLAN_STATION_ADDRESS[0]=0x080009C4686E
HP_BTLAN_SPEED[0]=100HD
HP_BTLAN_INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan2
HP_BTLAN_STATION_ADDRESS[1]=0x080009C4B23C
HP_BTLAN_SPEED[1]=FULL
c. Finally, merge all LAN interfaces by creating a set of three parameters with a
unique index for each:
• Copy the value of the interface name into the parameter
HP_BTLAN_INTERFACE_NAME.
• Copy the value of the station address into the parameter
HP_BTLAN_STATION_ADDRESS.
• If the SPEED parameter exists, and if its value (lowercase or uppercase) is
100FD or 100HD, 10FD or 10HD or auto_on, copy the value into the
HP_BTLAN_SPEED parameter.
However, if the SPEED parameter does not exist, and the DUPLEX parameter has
been set and its value (lowercase or uppercase) is FULL or HALF, copy the
value to HP_BTLAN_SPEED parameter.
If neither the SPEED nor DUPLEX parameter values have not been set, do not
put any value for the HP_BTLAN_SPEED parameter.
5. If the hpbtlanconf configuration file already exists (as
/etc/rc.config.d/hpbtlanconf), copy it to
/etc/rc.config.d/hplanconf.obsolete.
6. Move the file hpbtlanconf.merge to hpbtlanconf by using the command
mv -f /etc/rc.config.d/hpbtlanconf.merge /etc/rc.config.d/hpbtlanconf
7. Restart the update process. Answer NO (N) at the prompt, Do you want to
proceed in merging the configuration file into one? [Y|N].
HSC and PCI 1000Base-SX/T (Gigabit Ethernet)
new for
December 2001
The December 2001 release supports core 1000Base-T/SCSI card (A6794A) for HP-UX
11i, to pre-enable future systems (64-bit only). (The driver, igelan, is available on
software bundle GigEther-01.) The card is factory-installed, with a maximum of two
cards. The card supports MC/ServiceGuard in this release. Online files are located at
/opt/networkdocs.
new at 11i
original release
The PCI 1000Base-T card allows HP 9000s to connect to IEEE 802.3ab standard
networks over Cat 5 or Cat 5E UTP copper cable. (The driver, gelan, is available on
software bundle GigEther-00.)The card supports HP Auto-Port Aggregation,
MC/ServiceGuard, and LAN Monitor. The card operates at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbit/s and
supports auto-negotiation and auto-sensing. There is no 1000Base-T card for HSC
backplanes.
