Remarks
The
lanadmin, lanscan, and linkloop commands are deprecated. These commands will be removed
in a future HP-UX release. HP recommends the use of the replacement command nwmgr(1M) to perform
all network interface-related tasks.
DESCRIPTION
The nwmgr program is a unified command to administer all Local Area Network (LAN) and RDMA inter-
faces of HP-UX. See nwmgr(1M) for general information about the command. This manpage describes
nwmgr when working with the btlan driver.
The btlan driver is one of the HP-UX drivers that manages the 100BT Ethernet interfaces, both copper
(100Base-T) and fiber (100Base-FX). Each interface has several attributes. Some attributes (for example,
MTU) are configurable while others are read-only. In general, each attribute can have certain value during
run time (which is its current value), another value in the configuration file that stores data across boots
(its saved value), and an HP-supplied value that is applied by the driver after boot (its default value) but
before the saved value is applied. See the Attributes section for a list of attributes.
For
btlan interfaces, use the nwmgr command to display information (with the -g option, which is the
default), to modify the settings (the
-s option), to reset the interface or its statistics (the
-r option), and to
diagnose link connectivity (the
--diag option).
Operations other than get, require the hpux.network.config
authorization. For more information
about authorizations and Role-Based Access Control, see rbac(5).
The output in each case can be obtained in either human-readable form (the default form) or in a script-
friendly parseable form (with the
--sc or --script option). The format for script-friendly output is
described in the nwmgr(1M) manpage.
It is guaranteed that any change in the scriptable output across releases will contain only additions, but not
modifications or deletions. The human-readable form can change across releases, including modifications
and deletions, though the changes can be expected to be incremental.
The usage is explained in greater detail in the following section. The output format that is described is the
human-readable one; references to the scriptable output are made as necessary.
Operations
The nwmgr command provides the following operations for the btlan interface.
--cra Operation to perform Critical Resource Analysis on the interface.
--diag | --diagnose Operation to diagnose/test link connectivity.
