Remark
The
lanadmin, lanscan, and linkloop commands are deprecated and will be removed in a
future HP-UX release. HP recommends the use of replacement command nwmgr to perform all
network interface-related tasks.
DESCRIPTION
The nwmgr program is the unified command to administer all LAN and RDMA-based interfaces of HP-UX.
General information about the command as a whole can be found in the nwmgr(1M) manpage.
This nwmgr_vlan(1M) manpage describes
nwmgr as applied to the VLAN subsystem.
VLANs are logical or "virtual" network segments that can span multiple physical network segments. A pri-
mary benefit of VLANs is that they can isolate broadcast and multicast traffic by determining which desti-
nations should receive that traffic, thereby making better use of switch and end-station resources.
The commands described here are for interactive administration of HP-UX Virtual LAN (VLAN) interfaces.
The nwmgr command can be used on VLAN interfaces to display information (with the -g option, which is
the default), add VLAN interfaces (with the -a option), delete VLAN interfaces (with the -d option),
modify settings (with the -s option), reset the interface or its statistics (with the -r option), obtain the
usage information (with the --cra option) and to diagnose link connectivity (with the --diag option).
Operations other than get require hpux.network.config authorization. For more information about
authorizations and Role-based Access Control, see rbac(5).
The settings of the VLAN interface on the system can be saved to the configuration file
/etc/rc.config.d/vlanconf, so that these settings will take effect across reboots.
The output in each case can be obtained in either human-readable format (which is the default) or in a
script-friendly parseable format (with the --sc or --script option).
The format for script-friendly output is described in the nwmgr(1M) manpage. HP guarantees that any
change in the scriptable output across releases will contain only additions. The existing content will not be
modified or deleted. The content of human-readable format can change across releases though the changes
can be expected to be incremental.
