Conﬁguring HP FDDI/9000

Verifying the Installation

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.
