HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Configuration Management

# netstat -in
9. Assign IP addresses and subnet masks to additional cards as desired (options
given later). See “Assigning IP Addresses and Subnet Masks to Additional Cards
Using Web-Based HP SMH” (page 137).
10. For each interface, run ifconfig to verify the correct IP, netmask, and broadcast
addresses. For example:
# ifconfig lan0
11. For each interface, ping the broadcast address shown in Step 10 and verify that
you get responses from other nodes on that subnet.
This should get the system up and connected to any local networks. To set up
communication between the local network and remote networks, see “Routing:
Configuring the LAN to Reach Other Networks” (page 139).
Installing or Updating a Networking Driver with swinstall
You can either load the entire HP-UX 11i v3 operating environment (OE) from the
distribution media and you will automatically get the correct LAN (and if applicable,
mass storage) software bundles, or you can select and load the software bundle (or
bundles) required for your card. The HP-UX Ethernet Card System-Driver Matrix,
located in the document Ethernet System-Driver Matrix for HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2, and 11i
v3 in the I/O Cards and Networking Software section of http://docs.hp.com , tells
which drivers are used with each card. To load a specific bundle:
1. Load the software media into the appropriate drive.
2. Run the swinstall command. See swinstall(1M) for details.
3. In the Select Source dialog, identify the depot containing the software by setting
the Source Host Name and Source Depot Path, as necessary. Click OK.
4. In the Software Selection window, highlight the desired software bundle, such
as the 1000Base-T software driver bundle GigEther-01 (for cards such as
A6825A/A6847A 1-port) or IEther-00 (for cards such as A7011A/A7012A 2-port
and AB545A 4-port).
5. Choose Mark for Install from the Actions menu to choose the bundle.
6. Choose Install from the Actions menu to begin product installation and open the
Install Analysis window.
7. Click OK when the Status field displays Ready.
8. Click Yes in the Confirmation window to confirm that you want to install the
software. swinstall loads the bundle, runs the control scripts, and builds the
kernel. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes. When the Status field indicates
Ready, click Done.
9. A Note window opens. Click the OK button to reboot the system.
