View Interface Attributes
These commands can be used to view interface attributes.
nwmgr [-g] -A {all
| attr1, attr2, ...} -c lanPPA
nwmgr [--get] --attribute {all | attr1
, attr2, ...} --class_instance lan
PPA
These commands display the current value of either all the attributes of the interface (when the
all keyword is specified) or the specified attributes (when they are listed by name). Each attribute
is listed on a separate line as a name-value pair.
View Interface Details
These commands display interface details.
nwmgr [-g] -q info -c lan
PPA
nwmgr [--get] --qualifier info --class_instance lan
PPA
This form displays interface-specific properties that are informational, often not configurable and
subject to variation across drivers.
It first displays the verbose listing for the interface; same as what is shown by:
nwmgr -g -v -c lanPPA
It then displays PCI-related properties such as the PCI Device ID. It also displays the current
driver state for the specified interface.
View Interface’s Vital Product Data
These commands display the interface’s vital product data.
nwmgr [-g] -q vpd -c lanPPA
nwmgr [--get] --qualifier vpd --class_instance lan
PPA
The Vital Product Data is a standardized set of read-only properties for an interface, including
Manufactured Data for the NIC, and the firmware versions.
Set Current Values of Attributes
These commands can be used to set current values of attributes with user specified values.
nwmgr -s -A attr1=value1, attr2=value2,... -c lanPPA
nwmgr --set --attribute attr1=value1, attr2=value2,... --class_instance lan
PPA
You can set current values of attributes by specifying the values with these commands.
Save Attribute Values as Default Values for an Interface
These commands can be used to set current attribute values from default values.
nwmgr -s -A all --sa --fr cu[rrent] -c lanPPA
nwmgr --set --attribute all --saved --from cu[rrent]
--class_instance lanPPA
Save the current values of all attributes of an interface in the configuration file
/etc/rc.config.d/hpietherconf.
This form stores the current value of each attribute of an interface in the configuration file, so that
the interface configuration is preserved across boots. The user can also run the start-up script later
by hand to apply the configuration file values to the running kernel, by typing:
/sbin/rc2.d/S308hpiether start
This feature allows a user to experiment with the current values and, when a desired configuration
is achieved, preserve it for posterity.
Set Current Attribute Values from Default
These commands sets the current values for attributes from the default values.
nwmgr -s -A {all | attr1, attr2, ...} [--cu] --fr de[fault] -c lanPPA
nwmgr --set --attribute {all | attr1, attr2, ...} [--current] --from de[fault]
--class_instance lanPPA
The current values of all attributes of an interface (if
all is specified) or the specified attributes (if
the names are listed) are set to be equal to their respective default values. This can be useful in
