3.
Verify that the port's key value matches the value of the link
aggregate. If it does not, do the following:
a.
Set the port mode to MANUAL with the following command:
# nwmgr -s -A mode=MANUAL -I port-number -S apa
b.
Set the key value and mode with the following command:
# nwmgr -s -A key=value, mode=LACP_AUTO -I
port-number -S apa
The ports then negotiate with the link partner (approximately
10 seconds) and join the link aggregate. Repeat this step for
each port you want in the aggregate.
c.
Verify that the ports are in the link aggregate with the
nwmgr
-S apa
command.
d.
Save the current configuration with the following command:
# nwmgr -s -A all --fr cu --sa -S apa
All ports active?
NO
YES
Verify the active ports in the link aggregate by issuing the following
command:
# nwmgr -v -I xxx -S apa
where
xxx
is the link aggregate instance number.
The Active Port(s) field lists the active ports.
If there are ports in the Not Ready Port(s) field, verify the port's
operation status by issuing the following command:
# nwmgr --st -c lanxxx
where
xxx
is the interface number.
If the Operation Status is UP, see the steps for Link partner
configured?.
If the status is down, check the cabling from the NIC to the switch and
see the steps for NIC operating?.
Network
reachable?
NO
YES
If a remote host's network is not reachable, the following message is
displayed in response to the
ping
command:
network is unreachable
Complete the following steps:
1.
Ensure that the network devices are configured properly on the
local host, using the
netstat -i
command.
2.
Verify that the routing tables on the local host are correct, using
the
netstat -r
command.
Host known?
NO
YES
If a host is not known, the following message is displayed:
unknown host
Complete the following steps:
1.
Verify that the user is trying to reach the remote host using a valid
host name.
2.
Verify that the remote host is in another name domain and that
the user specified the full domain name.
3.
If your site uses the Domain Name System (DNS) for
name-to-address translation, look in the
/etc/nsswitch.conf
