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.
uname -a
HP-UX mymachine B.11.31 U ia64 3223107173 unlimited-user license
Please help.
lanscan then ifconfig to examine the interface information.

Can you explain me the output above. How many NIC do I have ??
and what parameter should I pass to ifconfig ??
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:
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 ?
==> ifconfig lan0
lan0: flags=1843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,CKO>
inet 150.233.121.69 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 130.233.101.255
and

The reason I opened the thread is becoz I have been asked the below.
But I still do not know what should be the "interfaceaddress" that I need to pass in that command.
