The lanconfig.ascii configuration file contains the following fields:
NODE_NAME The name of the system as obtained by gethostname. This
must be the first line in the file.
FAILOVER_GROUP
The name for a single LAN Monitor failover group. You must
specify a name for each LAN Monitor failover group on the
system. If the group consists of multiple ports (multiple PPAs),
the name format is lan9XX, where XX is a decimal number
starting with 00 (for example, lan900).
Each FAILOVER_GROUP can have the following keywords:
STATIONARY_IP
The IPv4 or IPv6 (December 2005 and
later releases of HP-APA for HP-UX 11i
v2 (B.11.23.10)) address dedicated to the
failover group. This is a required field;
you must set it for each failover group
before running lanapplyconf.
PRIMARY
Specifies the active port for the
FAILOVER_GROUP.
Each failover group must have one port.
This port is typically assigned the highest
priority or lowest cost value so it will be
the port that initially carries traffic. The
port must also have IP addresses
configured. After lanapplyconf creates
the failover group, the IP addresses on
the port (if present) are moved to the
failover group.
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:
