add IP addresses, and if desired, subnet masks, and any other optional settings.
The 10 Gigabit Ethernet driver ixgbe is not pre-loaded; it is selectable. So, when
setting up 10 Gigabit Ethernet networking for the first time on a system, you
need to load it onto your hard drive using the swinstall utility.
e. Where can I get the software?
All of the currently used networking drivers are included in the latest quarterly
HP-UX update. The drivers are also available on the web. Go to
http://www.hp.com and then choose Software and Driver Downloads.
f. How can I tell which version I have installed?
See “Verifying that the Networking Driver is in the Kernel” (page 142).
2. Am I connected to the switch and at what speed?
In most cases, this a speed/duplex question. For details, see “Setting Speed and
Duplex Mode of the LAN Card and Link Partner (Switch or Router)” (page 140).
Verifying LAN Installation
1. Verify that the LAN connector’s Link LED is steadily on. This means the card and
driver are installed successfully.
2. Obtain the card name and the station address of each card by using the nwmgr
command. The MAC address labeled on each card refers to LAN port A (the right
port). Add 1 for each additional port to obtain the MAC address for any additional
LAN ports.
3. To verify link-level connectivity with a remote system, enter:
# nwmgr --diag -c cardname -A dest=0x00306E2DF7FE
For example,
# nwmgr --diag -c lan0 -A dest=0x00306E2DF7FE
When you use nwmgr, ensure that the remote system is on the same LAN segment
and is an HP-UX-based system.
4. To verify IP-level connectivity with a remote system, enter:
# ping remote-address -n 5
# netstat -in
Each time you run the command pair, the values for Ipkts and Opkts should
increase.
Installation is complete when you have successfully run nwmgr, ping and
netstat.
Optionally, if you want to verify that the driver appears for each installed card, enter:
# ioscan -fknClan
The output for each port would look something like the following:
