The lanconfig.ascii configuration file contains the following fields:
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 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 can 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.
In previous versions of HP APA, the port
must have IP address configured and
must be the highest priority or lowest
cost. In the HP-UX 11i v3 version of HP
APA, you can assign the port any priority
or cost values. You also need not
configure an IP address on it.
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.
