port (if present) are moved to the
failover group.
In previous versions of HP APA, the
port must have IP address configured
and must be the highest priority or
lowest cost. In the HP-UX 11i v3 version
of HP APA, you can assign the port any
priority or cost values. You also need
not configure an IP address on it.
HP recommends that you always assign
the port the highest priority or the
lowest cost in a failover group.
STANDBY
Specifies a standby port for the
FAILOVER_GROUP
. A standby port is a
port that replaces the active port when
the active is incapable of carrying traffic.
Specify this keyword only if the failover
group has more than one port. A
failover group must have one or more
standby ports.
Both the
PRIMARY
and
STANDBY
keywords have the following
fields:
•
The LAN interface name (for example,
lan0
and
lan1
).
•
The port priority that will be assigned to the port. The port
with the highest priority is the active port.
•
A cost value for the LAN interface preceded by a colon (:).
This is an optional field. See
“Proactive failover” (p. 11)
for more information.
POLLING_INTERVAL
The number of microseconds between polling messages. You
can specify this keyword multiple times in the configuration
file. A link aggregate's polling interval is set to the last specified
interval. For a description of this parameter, see
“Failover group
advanced parameters” (page 33)
.
DEAD_COUNT
The number of polling packets that are missed before LAN
Monitor sends a
nettl
log message to the user that indicates
the link might have problems and the network should be
checked. For a description of this parameter, see
“Failover group
advanced parameters” (page 33)
.
LM_RAPID_ARP
Enables (on) or disables (off) the ability to transmit gratuitous
ARP messages at intervals shorter than 5 seconds. By default,
LM_RAPID_ARP
is off. For a description of this parameter, see
“Failover group advanced parameters” (page 33)
.
LM_RAPID_ARP_INTERVAL
The number of microseconds between rapid gratuitous ARP
messages. If the value is out of the valid range and
LM_RAPID_ARP
is on, the interval value last processed with
the
lanapplyconf
command is used. If
LM_RAPID_ARP
is
off, this value is ignored for the corresponding failover group.
For a description of this parameter, see
“Failover group
advanced parameters” (page 33)
.
LM_RAPID_ARP_COUNT
The number of gratuitous ARP packets sent rapidly. If the value
is not in the valid range and
LM_RAPID_ARP
is on, the count
value last processed with the
lanapplyconf
is used. If
LM_RAPID_ARP
is off, this value is ignored for the
corresponding failover group. For a description of this
