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

• The ports that are not ready to be used in a link aggregation or failover group. A
port can be in this list due to:
— The link state of the NIC is down.
— The NIC is experiencing a hardware problem, which is causing unexpected
failures.
— The NIC has been configured to run an APA auto protocol and it has not reached
a stable state.
• For failover groups, a list of the ports in the "ready" list that have connectivity to
the current active port. A port in the ready list might not be displayed in this field
because connectivity might have been lost after forming the failover group.
NOTE: This field might not be accurate after a link state change until POLL_INTERVAL
* DEAD_COUNT seconds have expired.
Following is sample output for link aggregation:
Link Aggregate PPA # : 900
Link Aggregation Mode : MANUAL
Load Balance Mode : IP Address based (LB_IP)
Active Ports PPA # : 3 4
Port(s) not ready : 5 6
Following is sample output for a failover group (LAN Monitor):
In this example, 3, 4, 5 are in same subnet and 6, 7 are in different subnet, and port 5 is
down.
Link Aggregate PPA # : 901
Link Aggregation Mode : LAN_MONITOR
Load Balance Mode : Hot Standby (LB_HOT_STANDBY)
Active Ports PPA # : 3
Port(s) ready : 4 6 7
Port(s) not ready : 5
Port(s) connected to active port : 4
-k -x -k portPPA lnyLinkAggregatePPA
Displays the Administrative and Operational Key for an LACP_AUTO port or link
aggregate. Applies to LACP_AUTO only.
-l -x -l linkAggregatePPA
Displays the current load-balancing algorithm for the link aggregate with the specified
linkAggregatePPA number.
-m -x -m anyLinkAggregatePPA
Displays the status for all link aggregates using any link aggregate in the command.
