Modifying HP APA global parameters

/etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaconf
file:
Default Port Mode
The default configuration mode for link aggregates. The supported
values are as follows:
MANUAL

ports that support HP APA. You must manually
add or remove them from the specific link
aggregate. This is the default.
FEC_AUTO
Starts FEC on all ports that support HP APA.
LACP_AUTO
Starts IEEE 802.3ad LACP on all ports that
support HP APA.
LAN_MONITOR Disables FEC and IEEE 802.3ad LACP on all
ports that support HP APA. The ports will be
used for a failover group.
MAX Link Aggregates
Sets the maximum number of link aggregates for the server. The
valid range is from 5 to 50, inclusive. The default value is 50. This
value takes effect only after a reboot.
LACP SYSID Mode
LACP_AUTO only. Directs APA how to set up the LACP System
ID. The supported values are as follows:
FIRST_APA_PORT
Sets the LACP System ID to the first
supported HP APA port. This is the
default.
FIRST_LACP_PORT
Sets the LACP System ID to the first
active (UP) port that starts LACP.
LACP Timeout
Specifies an interval of time between LACP Protocol Data Units
(PDUs) after which the server considers the LACP link partner to
be down. The supported values are as follows:
0
Specifies a slow timeout. This is approximately 30 seconds.
This is the default.
1
Specifies a fast timeout. This is approximately 3 seconds.
Use Syslog
Enables (1) or disables (0) the logging of status messages to the
syslog.log
file (for example, when a link aggregate or port fails
or comes up). The default value is 0. See
