NAME
fddisetup — initialize and connect all system FDDI network interfaces
DESCRIPTION
fddisetup:
Scans the kernel I/O system data structures for all
FDDI
interface cards installed on the system.
It invokes
fddiinit
with default parameters for every
FDDI
interface card found (see
fddiinit(1M)).
The
fddisetup
command must be present in the
fddi initialization script
and the
/etc/local/powerfail
file.
It is invoked at system start-up to download all
FDDI
cards in the system before
IP
addresses are assigned.
The entry in the
/etc/local/powerfail(1M)
file must be present after the
/sbin/dasetup
entry.
It is invoked when the system recovers from a power-failure condition
to reinitialize the
FDDI
interface cards.
It can also be invoked manually.
However, this is not recommended as it reinitializes all
FDDI
interface cards present on the system.
When it is necessary to reinitialize
and reconnect a specific interface, use
fddiinit
interactively.
Command-Line Arguments
fddisetup
does not support any options or arguments.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion,
fddisetup
returns 0; otherwise, it returns 1.
ERRORS
If
fddisetup
fails, the firmware may be downloaded on some
FDDI
cards on the system and not on others.
If this happens, use
lanscan
to determine which
FDDI
interface cards have been downloaded properly
and which ones were not (see
lanscan(1M)).
lanscan
shows an
UP
hardware state for cards that have been downloaded properly.
Use
fddiinit
interactively to manually download
FDDI
interface cards.
The error message
fddisetup: Can't read I/O configuration
indicates an access permissions problem.
Log in as super-user and try the command again.
fddisetup
can also produce error messages returned by the
fddiinit
command (see
fddiinit(1M)).
