Chapter 4 Troubleshooting HP-UX LAN provides flowcharts to help diagnose
HP-UX LAN software and hardware problems. This chapter also describes
LAN card status values and statistics returned by lanadmin.
Chapter 5 LAN Resources provides references to other useful tools for installing,
configuring, and maintaining HP-UX LAN software.
Chapter 6 Network Addressing defines networking terms and explains network
interface names, network addresses, names and subnets. The information in
this chapter is applicable to configuring other HP-UX link products on
TCP/IP networks.
Chapter 7 LAN Device and Interface Terminology defines terms used by the I/O

IMPORTANT HP-UX 11i v3, by default, supports IPv6 transport. This guide does not include
IPv6 transport information. Refer to HP-UX IPv6 Transport Administrator’s
Guide and HP-UX IPv6 Porting Guide for IPv6 transport information on
HP-UX 11i v3.
NOTE This manual does not contain the procedures for adding and replacing PCI
cards using OLA/R. OLA/R stands for On Line Addition and Replacement. This
refers to the ability of a PCI I/O card to be replaced (removed and/or added) to
an HP-UX computer system designed to support this feature without the need
for completely shutting down, then rebooting the system or affecting other
system components.
If you want to utilize the OLA/R feature that your system provides, refer to the
Interface Card OL* Support Guide.
