The HP UX is bundled with several network adminitration tool:

• lanscan : to see MAC Adress, interface status, and hardware path

# lanscan
Hardware Station Crd Hdw Net-Interface NM MAC HP-DLPI DLPI
Path Address In# State NamePPA ID Type Support Mjr#
0/0/0/0 0x00306EC32104 0 UP lan0 snap0 1 ETHER Yes 119

• ifconfig : looks like the same command in linux, to see of configure the IP Addresses, turning on/off the NIC, etc.

# ifconfig lan0
lan0: flags=843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>
inet 150.150.8.1 netmask ffff0000 broadcast 150.150.255.255

• lanadmin : to see detailed LAN interfaces of the machine
