NAME
lanadmin - local area network administration program
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/lanadmin [-e] [-t]
/usr/sbin/lanadmin [-a] [-A station_addr] [-b] [-B on|off ]
[-m] [-M mtu_size] [-R] [-s] [-S speed] [-x options] [-X options]
PPA
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.
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 ^C) interrupts a currently executing command; the eof key
(usually ^D) terminates the program.
lanadmin operates in two modes: Menu Mode (see the first SYNOPSIS
line) and Immediate Mode (see the second SYNOPSIS line). If at least
one -aAbBmMRsS option 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 -aAbBmMRsS 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 -aAbBmMRsS 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.
-m Display the current MTU size of the interface
corresponding to PPA.
-M mtu_size Set the new MTU size of the interface
corresponding to PPA. The mtu_size value must
be within the link specific range. You must
have superuser privileges.
-R Reset the MTU size of the interface
corresponding to PPA to the default for that
link type. You must have superuser
privileges.
-s Display the current link speed setting of the
interface corresponding to PPA.
-S speed Set the new link speed setting of the
interface corresponding to PPA. You must have
superuser privileges.
-x options Get and display driver specific options of
the interface corresponding to PPA.
-X options Set driver specific options of the interface
corresponding to PPA. You must have
superuser privileges.
lanadmin recognizes the following Menu Mode options. They are ignored
if they are given with an Immediate Mode option.
-e Echo the input commands on the output device.
-t Suppress the display of the command menu
before each command prompt. This is
equivalent to the Test Selection Mode terse
command. The default is verbose.
Immediate Mode
In Immediate Mode, you can display the station address, source routing
option, MTU size, and link speed of LAN interface PPA. For certain
interfaces, if you have superuser privileges you can also modify the
station address, source routing option, MTU size, and link speed. See
"Options and Arguments" above.
Menu Mode
In Menu Mode, you can select an interface card, display statistics for
the selected card, reset the card, and clear the statistics registers.
Menu Mode accepts either complete command words or unique
abbreviations, and no distinction is made between uppercase and
lowercase letters in commands. Multiple commands can be entered on
one line if they are separated by spaces, tabs, or commas.
Test Selection Mode Menu
This menu is entered when Menu Mode is first selected. The available
Test Selection Mode commands are:
lan Select the LAN Interface Test Mode menu.
menu Display the Test Selection Mode command menu.
quit Terminate the lanadmin program.
terse Suppress the display of command menus.
verbose Restore the display of command menus.
LAN Interface Test Mode Menu
The following commands are available:
clear Clear the LAN interface network statistics
registers to zero. You must have superuser
privileges.
display Display the RFC 1213 MIB II statistics.
Depending on the link, the type-specific MIB
statistics may also be displayed. For instance,
for Ethernet links, the RFC 1398 Ethernet-like
statistics are displayed.
end Return lanadmin to Test Selection Mode.
menu Display the LAN Interface Test Mode command menu.
ppa Prompt for a PPA that corresponds to a LAN
interface card. It defaults to the first LAN
interface encountered in an internal list.
Appropriate values can be displayed with the
lanscan command (see lanscan(1M)).
quit Terminate the lanadmin program.
reset Reset the local LAN interface card, causing it to
execute its self-test. Local access to the
network is interrupted during execution of reset.
You must have superuser privileges.
specific Display and execute commands from a driver
specific menu.
WARNINGS
Changes made to an interface's station address or mtu interactively
with the lanadmin command will not be preserved between system
reboots. A user must modify the initialization configuration files
for this feature, either manually editing configuration files or
through the SAM interface.
