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

messages are a subset of the messages APA logs to the nettl log file, but are reworded for
readability and understandability.
For information on configuring APA to log status messages to the /var/adm/syslog/
syslog.log file, see “Modifying HP APA Global Parameters” (page 63).
Examples
This section contains sample status messages that might appear in the syslog.log file. In these
examples, a link is considered UP:
• If its Operation Status (ifOper) is UP (the link can carry network traffic) and
• If the link is part of a link aggregate and it has successfully negotiated via the protocol with
the link partner to become a member of the link aggregate.
A link is considered DOWN:
• Anytime its Operation Status (ifOper) status is DOWN (the link cannot carry network
traffic) or
• If the link is part of an automatic link aggregate and the protocol has failed to maintain the
membership of the port in the link aggregate.

The /sbin/init.d/hpapa start command was issued, for example, at system boot
time.
2
The /sbin/init.d/hpapa stop command was issued.
3
Link aggregate (LA) 900 was created with three links 7, 8, and 9.
4
Link 8 is not operational.
5
Link 9 was removed from lan900; for example, by issuing the following command:
# lanadmin -X -d 9 900
6
Link 7 and link aggregate 900 are not operational.
7
Link aggregate 900 was cleared; for example, by issuing the following command:
# nwmgr -X -c 900
If link aggregate 900 is a failover group, lan900 has a FOG: prefix instead of LA: as shown in
the previous example.
For failover groups and Hot-standby mode link aggregates, the current active link is also displayed
as in the following example:
Mar 3 08:58:03 hpserver1 vmunix: APA/LM: FOG:lan900 - lan1 is up (lan1 is active)
Mar 3 08:58:03 hpserver1 vmunix: APA/LM: FOG:lan900 is up (lan1 is active)
Mar 3 08:58:03 hpserver1 vmunix: APA/LM: FOG:lan900 - lan2 is up (lan1 is active)
