NIC operating?
NO
YES
Verify that the NIC is operating. Enter the following command:
# nwmgr -v [-c lanx | -S driver-name]
If the Interface State is DOWN, do the following:
1. Check the status of the Link LED.
If the LED is off, check the connection to the switch. Make sure
that the switch is configured in the correct mode and is
autonegotiating, if necessary. Reset the NIC with following
command:
# nwmgr -r -c lanxx
2. Make sure the link speed and duplex mode match the settings on
the switch. If they do not, set the correct link speed and duplex
mode and enable autonegotiating, if necessary. Then, reset the
NIC with the nwmgr command
3. Verify that your interface state is UP by issuing the nwmgr
command with no arguments. If it is not up, perform the steps for
NIC claimed?.
Network daemon
started?
NO
YES
Verify that the network daemon (inetd) is running. Enter the following
