HP Auto Port Aggregation Administrator's Guide HP-UX 11i v3 (766140-001, March 2014)

HP_APA_GROUP_CAPABILITY For FEC_AUTO only. An integer value used to determine
which network physical ports can be aggregated into a
common FEC link aggregate. Set the group capability
to be the same for all network physical ports in the same
link aggregate. Ports going to different link aggregates must
have different group capabilities. This value must match the
value of HP_APAPORT_GROUP_CAPABILITY in the /etc/
rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf file.
HP_APA_INTERFACE_NAME Name of the link aggregate. For example, lan900 and
lan901.
HP_APA_KEY For LACP_AUTO only. An integer value that determines
which network physical ports can be aggregated into a
common LACP link aggregate. Set the key to be the same
for all network physical ports in the same link aggregate.
Ports going to different link aggregates should have different
keys. Must match the value of HP_APAPORT_KEY in the
/etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf file.
HP_APA_LACP_SYSTEM_ID_MODE For LACP_AUTO only. Directs APA how to set up the LACP
System ID. The supported values are as follows:
FIRST_APA_PORT Sets the LACP System ID to the first
supported HP APA port. This is the
default.
FIRST_LACP_PORT Sets the LACP System ID to the first
active (UP) port that starts LACP.
HP_APA_LACP_TIMEOUT For LACP_AUTO mode only. Specifies the length of the LACP
timeout. This is also a global parameter. For a description
of this parameter, see “Modifying HP APA global
parameters” (page 35).
HP_APA_LOAD_BALANCE_MODE Defines the load-balancing mode for the specified link
aggregate (HP_APA_INTERFACE_NAME). The supported
values are as follows:
• LB_MAC
• LB_IP
• LB_PORT
For a description of these parameters, see the load
distribution algorithms in “Link aggregate advanced
parameters” (page 26).
NOTE: Some IP applications might not have TCP/UDP
port numbers, or the TCP/UDP port numbers are encrypted.
For such cases, even if you choose LB_PORT, it will fall back
to the default LB_MAC.
HP_APA_MANUAL_LA Manually set ports for the specified link aggregate. Specify
the ports with PPA numbers. Separate each port by a comma
(,).
HP_APA_MAX_LINKAGGS Sets the maximum number of link aggregates for the server.
The valid range is from 5 to 50. The default value is 50.
This value takes effect only after a reboot.
HP_APA_STATION_ADDRESS Specifies the MAC address to assign to the specified link
aggregate. If a link aggregate declaration contains both
the HP_APA_STATION_ADDRESS and
HP_APA_FIXED_MAC parameters, the
HP_APA_STATION_ADDRESS parameter overrides the value
