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

HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME Name of physical interface. For example, lan0 and lan1.
HP_APAPORT_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. The key must match the key
of the desired aggregate that the user wants the port to join.
This value is set in the /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaconf
file. “Configuring a link aggregate” (page 27) describes
how to choose the key.
The default administrative key is 0.
HP_APAPORT_PRIORITY Set the port priority for the port. The port priority determines
which port in a link aggregate will be the active interface
when the link aggregate is in LAN_MONITOR mode.
The default port priority is 0.
HP_APAPORT_SYSTEM_PRIORITY For LACP_AUTO only. Set the port system priority for the
port specified by HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME. The
system priority gives control to the system to resolve waiting
ports to be added in a link aggregate.
The default system priority is 0.
Example 9
To configure LACP link aggregate 900 having ports with PPAs 1, 2 and LACP link aggregate 901
having ports with PPAs 3 and 4.
Set the APA port key and the configuration mode in /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf
file:

HP_APAPORT_KEY[0]=900
HP_APAPORT_CONFIG_MODE[0]=LACP_AUTO
HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan2
HP_APAPORT_KEY[1]=900
HP_APAPORT_CONFIG_MODE[1]=LACP_AUTO
HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME[2]=lan3
HP_APAPORT_KEY[2]=901

lanconfig.ascii file
Example 10 shows a sample /etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii ASCII configuration file. This
file contains configuration information that LAN Monitor uses for failover groups.
