lanscan(1M)															       lanscan(1M)

NAME

       lanscan - display LAN device configuration and status

SYNOPSIS

   Remarks
       The and commands are deprecated.  See for more information.

DESCRIPTION

       displays the following information about each LAN device that has software support on the system:

	      o  Hardware Path.

	      o  Active Station Address (also known as Physical Address).

	      o  Card Instance Number

	      o  Hardware State.

	      o  Network  Interface "NamePPA".	 The Network Interface "Name" and the "PPA" (Physical Point of Attachment) number are concatenated
		 together.  A single hardware device may have multiple "NamePPA" identifiers, which indicates multiple encapsulation  methods  may
		 be  supported on the device.  For Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 links, the "Name" is used to designate Ethernet encapsulation, and for IEEE
		 802.3 encapsulation.  For other links (FDDI, Token Ring), only the encapsulation designation is used.

	      o  Network Management ID.

	      o  MAC Type.

	      o  HP DLPI Supported.  Indicates whether or not the lan device driver will work with HP's Common Data Link Provider Interface.

	      o  DLPI Major Number.

	      o  Extended Station Address for those interfaces which require more than 48 bits.   This	is  displayed  only  when  the	option	is
		 selected.

	      o  Encapsulation Methods that the Network Interface supports.  This is displayed only when the option is selected.

   Options
       recognizes the following command-line options:

	      Display station addresses only.  No headings.

	      Display interface names only.  No headings.

	      Display information about PPAs that are acquired by APA.
		      No headings.

	      Display MAC types only.  No headings.

	      Display Network Managements IDs only.  No headings.

	      Display PPA numbers only.  No headings.

	      Same as except  link aggregate PPA's will be followed by a list of LAN interface PPA's that are configured in the corresponding link
		      aggregate. No headings.

	      Verbose output.  Two lines per interface.  Includes displaying of extended
		      station address and supported encapsulation methods.

WARNINGS

       does not display information about LAN devices that do not have software support such as LAN interface cards that fail to bind properly	at
       boot-up time.

   Obsolescence
       The  and  commands are deprecated.  These commands will be removed in a future HP-UX release.  HP recommends the use of replacement command
       nwmgr(1M) to perform all network interface-related tasks.
