DESCRIPTION
The
lanadmin program administers and tests the Local Area Network (LAN). For each interface card, it
allows you to:
• Display and change the station address.
• Display and change the 802.5 Source Routing options (RIF).
• Display and change the maximum transmission unit (MTU).
• Display and change the speed setting.
• Clear the network statistics registers to zero.
• Display the interface statistics.
• Reset the interface card, thus executing its self-test.
• Display usage information corresponding to PPA Number
• Configure VLANs, on the cards that supports VLAN.
For operations other than display, you must have superuser privileges.
lanadmin reads commands from standard input, writes prompts and error messages to standard error,
and writes status information to standard output. When the program is run from a terminal, the interrupt
key (usually ˆC) interrupts a currently executing command; the eof key (usually ˆD) terminates the pro-
gram.
lanadmin operates in two modes: Menu Mode (see the first SYNOPSIS line) and Immediate Mode (see
the second SYNOPSIS line). If at least one of -aAbBmMRsSgpV
options is supplied, lanadmin executes
in Immediate Mode. Otherwise, it executes in Menu Mode.
NOTE:
lanadmin replaces the now obsolete landiag command beginning at 10.0.
Options and Arguments
lanadmin recognizes the following Immediate Mode options and arguments. At least one -
aAbBmMRsSgp
option and the PPA argument must be supplied.
PPA The Physical Point of Attachment (PPA) number of the LAN interface. This argument
is ignored if none of the -aAbBmMRsSgp options are used (Menu Mode). Any
options specified after PPA are ignored. Appropriate values can be displayed with the
lanscan command (see lanscan(1M)).
-a Display the current station address of the interface corresponding to PPA.
-A station_addr Set the new station address of the interface corresponding to PPA. The station_addr
must be entered in hex format with a ’0x’ prefix. You must have superuser privileges.
When station_addr is
DEFAULT, the factory default physical address will be restored.
WARNING: To ensure the interface and the system work correctly, the interface
MUST be brought down before setting the new station address. After the new station
address is set, the interface should be brought up in order to be functional. See
ifconfig(1M) for bringing down and bringing up the interface.
-b Display the current 802.5 source routing option for the interface corresponding to
PPA.
-B on|off Turn the 802.5 source routing option ‘‘on’’ or ‘‘off’’ for the interface corresponding to
PPA. The default value for HP devices is ‘‘on’’. You must have superuser privileges.
-g get_options Get and display settings corresponding to option specified by get_options of the inter-
face corresponding to PPA. get_options is optional and is case insensitive. The
allowed values are
mibstats and mibstats_ext .
mibstats Display the MIB-II statistics (RFC 1213) and interface-specific
statistics.
