capability must match the group capability of the desired
aggregate that the user wants the port to join. This value
is set in the
/etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaconf
file.
“Link
aggregate advanced parameters” (page 32)
describes how
to choose the group capability for link aggregates. Ports
going to different link aggregates should have different
group capabilities.
The default group capability is 5.
HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME
Name of physical interface. For example,
lan0
and
lan1
.
HP_APAPORT_KEY
For LACP_AUTO only. An integer value that determines
which network physical ports can be aggregated into a
common LACP link aggregate. Set the key to be the same
for all network physical ports. The key must match the key
of the desired aggregate that the user wants the port to
join. This value is set in the
/etc/rc.config.d/
hp_apaconf
file.
“Configuring a link aggregate” (page 34)
describes how to choose the key.
The default administrative key is 0.
HP_APAPORT_PRIORITY
Set the port priority for the port. The port priority
determines which port in a link aggregate will be the active
interface when the link aggregate is set to Hot Standby
mode (
HP_APA_HOT_STANDBY=on
).
The default port priority is 0.
HP_APAPORT_SYSTEM_PRIORITY
For LACP_AUTO only. Set the port system priority for the
port specified by
HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME
. The
system priority gives control to the system to resolve
waiting ports to be added in a link aggregate.
The default system priority is 0.
lanconfig.ascii file
Example B-1
shows a sample
/etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii
ASCII configuration file. This
file contains configuration information that LAN Monitor uses for failover groups.
