LAN Commands
The lanadmin Command
The Local Area Network Administration Program, lanadmin, administers and tests the
Local Area Network (LAN).
The lanadmin command has a hard link to it called /usr/bin/landiag, which has been
maintained for compatibility reasons. The landiag program and command have been
deprecated and will be obsoleted post HP-UX 11i v2. Along with the landiag program,
the transition link for landiag being maintained as /etc/landiag will also be
obsoleted.
The landiag manpage is currently a copy of the lanadmin manpage. The landiag
manpage will be obsoleted post HP-UX 11i v2. For further information about lanadmin,
see the manpage lanadmin (1M).
Also see the Driver Development Guide, available from the Developer and Solution
Partner Program (DSPP) at http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dev/.
The lanscan Command
The lanscan command displays LAN device configuration and status.
Due to the future obsolescence of the Transition Links product, the file /etc/lanscan
will not be replaced by a symbolic link post HP-UX 11i v2. Post HP-UX 11i v2, users of
the lanscan command who access it from the /etc path will have to include /usr/sbin
in the $PATH environment variable so as to use /usr/sbin/lanscan. Any scripts using
/etc/lanscan will have to change to /usr/sbin/lanscan.
For further information about lanscan, see the manpage lanscan (1M). Also see the
Driver Development Guide, available from the Developer and Solution Partner Program
(DSPP) at http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dev/.
The linkloop Command
The linkloop command verifies LAN connectivity with link-level loopback.
Due to the future obsolescence of the Transition Links product, the file /etc/linkloop
will not be replaced by a symbolic link post HP-UX 11i v2. Post HP-UX 11i v2, users of
the linkloop command who access it from the /etc path will have to include /usr/sbin
in the $PATH environment variable so as to use /usr/sbin/linkloop. Any scripts using
/etc/linkloop will have to change to /usr/sbin/linkloop.
For further information about linkloop, see the manpage linkloop (1M). Also see the
Driver Development Guide, available from the Developer and Solution Partner Program
(DSPP) at http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dev/.
