3. Verify that the port's key value matches the value of the link
aggregate. If it does not, do the following:
a. Set the port mode to MANUAL with the following command:
# nwmgr -s -A mode=MANUAL -I port-number -S apa
b. Set the key value and mode with the following command:
# nwmgr -s -A key=value, mode=LACP_AUTO -I
port-number -S apa
The ports then negotiate with the link partner (approximately
10 seconds) and join the link aggregate. Repeat this step for
each port you want in the aggregate.
c. Verify that the ports are in the link aggregate with the nwmgr
-S apa command.
d. Save the current configuration with the following command:
# nwmgr -s -A all --fr cu --sa -S apa
Verify the active ports in the link aggregate by issuing the following
command:
# nwmgr -v -I xxx -S apa
where xxx is the link aggregate instance number.
The Active Port(s) field lists the active ports.
If there are ports in the Not Ready Port(s) field, verify the port's operation
status by issuing the following command:
# nwmgr --st -c lanxxx
where xxx is the interface number.
If the Operation Status is UP, see the steps for Link partner configured?.
If the status is down, check the cabling from the NIC to the switch and
see the steps for NIC operating?.
If a remote host's network is not reachable, the following message is
displayed in response to the ping command:
network is unreachable
Complete the following steps:
1. Ensure that the network devices are configured properly on the
local host, using the netstat -i command.
2. Verify that the routing tables on the local host are correct, using the
netstat -r command.
If a host is not known, the following message is displayed:
unknown host
Complete the following steps:
1. Verify that the user is trying to reach the remote host using a valid
host name.
2. Verify that the remote host is in another name domain and that the
user specified the full domain name.
3. If your site uses the Domain Name System (DNS) for name-to-address
translation, look in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file to see if nis
is specified as a service for the hosts database entry. If it is not,
