HP Auto Port Aggregation Administrator's Guide for HP-UX 11i v1 and 11i v2 September 2008

-k -X -k portPPA admin_key anyLinkAggregatePPA
Sets the Administrative Key for an LACP_AUTO port or LACP_AUTO link aggregate. Applies
to LACP_AUTO only. An Administrative Key and Operational Key are associated with
each port. The Operational Key is used for forming aggregations in autonegotiation. The
Administrative Key can be set at anytime. At the port level, the Operational Key only copies
the Administrative Key value when the LACP protocol is not running. At the link aggregate
level, the Operational Key only copies the Administrative Key when the link aggregate is
not configured (no ports have joined the link aggregate).
For example: An LACP_AUTO port is in an aggregation. The admin_key and oper_key
are 1234. Use lanadmin -X -k admin_key anyLinkAggregatePPA to modify the
admin_key to 5432. The oper_key is not changed immediately. You must stop
LACP_AUTO for the port and then restart it for both keys to have the new value of 5432.
-l -X -l load_balance_algorithm linkAggregatePPA
Sets the load-balancing algorithm for a link aggregate with the specified
linkAggregatePPA number.
The following choices are valid for load_balance_algorithm:
• LB_MAC
• LB_IP
• LB_PORT
For a description of these parameters, see the load distribution algorithms in “Link Aggregate
Advanced Parameters” (page 34).
-o -X -o linkAggregatePPA
Clears data flows for a link aggregate specified by linkAggregatePPA. This rebalances
the link aggregate outbound traffic across the ports in the link aggregate.
-p -X -p portPPA config_mode anyLinkAggregatePPA
Sets mode for a port with the specified portPPA number. The following values are valid:
• LACP_AUTO
• FEC_AUTO
• MANUAL
• LAN_MONITOR
For a description of these parameters, see the mode descriptions in “Preparing for
Configuration” (page 31).
-s -X -s portPPA system_priority anyLinkAggregatePPA
Sets the system priority for an LACP_AUTO port. The default value is 0. This has no affect
on a MANUAL or FEC_AUTO port.
-t -X -t portPPA port_priority anyLinkAggregatePPA
Sets the port_priority for the port with the specified PPA Number. For LACP_AUTO,
this sets the priority value for the port. The lanapplyconf command assigns port priority
according to settings in lanconfig.ascii. You can change the priority of primary and
standby ports, but the primary port must have a higher priority. By default a primary port
is 5; standby is 3. This option is not applicable to PAgP. If the port is not in a standalone
state, attempting to set the port priority will fail. Check the port status using the lanadmin
-x -p command.
The valid values for port_priority are integral numbers starting at 0.
For HOT_STANDBY: The bigger the number, the higher the priority.
For LACP ports: The smaller the number, the higher the priority.
