HP-UX Installation
Network Card Configuration Worksheet
Note 1: To configure values permanently, edit the configuration files. Using lanadmin will not preserve your
settings across reboots.
Note 2: The speed configuration of the card can be 10, 100, or 1000Mbps and is determined by the speed
setting of the hub or switch port to which the card is connected. The card automatically senses this speed. The
Base-T card only runs at one speed at a time. To verify the speed selection, run lanadmin -x ppa#.
Note 3: The valid MTU range for the iether driver on HP-UX 11i v 1.0 is 257 - 9000; for Jumbo Frames, the
valid MTU size is any number from 1501 - 9000.
