• nettl(1m): The nettl command logs network events and traces packets as they enter and exit
the Ethernet driver.
• nwmgr(1m): The nwmgr command reports the status of a card, and is also used for resetting
a card (-r), configuring virtual LANs (VLANs), setting TCP segmentation offload (TSO) and
other features, displaying information about cards that are successfully bound to the system,
and verifying network connectivity through the data link layer (OSI Layer 2). The command
can also be used to obtain 64-bit MIB statistics. Use the nwmgr command to configure and
manage the driver interface. Interfaces can also be configured using the web-based
management tool HP-UX System Management Homepage (HP SMH).
