Question NIC card issue

Hi,

Someone asked me the below.

If the box has multiple NIC cards, try to run a test with interface address specified as shown below

$ java utils.MulticastTest -N server100 -A 237.155.155.1 -i <interfaceaddress>
How can I now find out if my box has multiple NIC cards and how can I find out whats the interface address.

Code:
uname -a
HP-UX mymachine B.11.31 U ia64 3223107173 unlimited-user license

Please help.

I belive that's 4 dual port NIC's.

You will pass the interface name (lan0 etc.) to ifconfig, or run netstat -in to see all configured interfaces (ones you don't see are not configured).

If you want to know what NICs (H/W type) you have:
Code:
ioscan -funC lan

Are you saying that I have 4 NIC cards ? I see lan0,lan1,lan2,lan3,lan4,lan5,lan10,lan11 total of 8 UP and rest 5 Down in-all 13 entries.

Also please help me understand how did you come to a conclusion that "that's 4 dual port NIC's." ??

What is my interface-address from the output below ?

Code:
 
==> ifconfig lan0
lan0: flags=1843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,CKO>
        inet 150.233.121.69 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 130.233.101.255

and

Code:
==> ioscan -funC lan

The reason I opened the thread is becoz I have been asked the below.

You can find more info @

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs81/admin_ref/utils25.html


But I still do not know what should be the "interfaceaddress" that I need to pass in that command.
