$ lanadmin -A station_addr ppa
In this command, ppa is the Card Instance Number (also known as physical point of
attachment or PPA) (for HP-UX 11.0 and later). PPA may be obtained from the
lanscan(1M) output.
• To get and display settings corresponding to option specified by get_options of the
interface corresponding to PPA, enter the following:
$ lanadmin -g get_options
where: get_options is optional and is case insensitive. At present the only allowed
value is mibstats.
On the HP-UX 11i v2 release of September 2004, the gelan, igelan, and iether
Gigabit Ethernet drivers support 64-bit MIB statistics per RFC 2863 in addition to
32-bit management information base (MIB) statistics.
• To display the maximum transmission unit (MTU):
$ lanadmin -m ppa
• To set the MTU, enter:
$ lanadmin -M mtu_size ppa
• To display the usage information for the interface corresponding to PPA. Also,
display the upper level protocols and applications attached to the interface
corresponding to PPA. If none attached it prints nothing. To display, enter:
$ lanadmin -p
• Executes VLAN specific command:
$ lanadmin -V VLAN_command
See the manpage vlan(7) for complete syntax and usage of the -V option. The
supported VLAN commands are: create-Create a VLAN; modify-Modify properties of
a VLAN; delete-Delete a VLAN; scan-Get information about all VLANs on a system;
info-Get information about a particular VLAN on a system
• To verify the change in MTU on all HP-UX operating systems, enter:
$ netstat -in
• To display link parameters, enter:
$ lanadmin -x option ppa
• To set link parameters, enter:
$ lanadmin -X option ppa
In this command, option specifies the operation to be carried out.
Table 3-2 lists the parameters that can be set with lanadmin -X or displayed with
