[SunHELP] Reg:Lancard problem

[Fletcher, Joe]

I guess the question possibly does belong on hpux-admin list but here's a
snippet from a summary posted on there yesterday

"
Lots of people give me the hints why HP-UX hates the IP
206.246.59.9/255.255.255.240, which causes the NIC in panic.

HP-UX by default doesn't allow all zero or all ones subnet portion. You can
implement the latest transport patch or use the ndd to set the
"ip_check_subnet_addr" to zero.

"

Cheers

Joe

I'm not sure what you're saying.  If you're using a /26 mask
(255.255.255.192), the last subnet doesn't start at 192, but 224.  The
subnets
are:

192.11.218.0 - .31
192.11.218.32 - .63
192.11.218.64 - .91
192.11.218.92 - .127
192.11.218.128 - 159
192.11.218.160 - 191
192.11.218.192 - 223
192.11.218.224 - 255

First you are talking about using the .0 subnet, then you're talking about
the
last one being above .192?  And the Sun machines work but the HPUX box
doesn't, so you're posting to a Sun list?  Sorry, I'm confused.
