HP Auto Port Aggregation (APA) Release Notes HP-UX 11i v3 (766139-001, March 2014)

Corrective Action: To use the network physical port on the HP 9000 server, physically move
the connection from the server to the switch to another non-Cisco Fast EtherChannel port on
the switch.
• Cisco Catalyst 5000 Switches
◦ Turning off Cisco's Fast Ether Channel protocol on one network physical port on the HP
9000 server might cause the entire link aggregate (the port it is associated with) to be
deconfigured.
Severity: High
Corrective Action: Reconfigure the switch; do not include the port in the link aggregate
being configured. See the appropriate switch documentation for information on how to
reconfigure link aggregates.
The Catalyst 5000 switch allows only two- or four-port link aggregates. See the Cisco
Catalyst 5000 Configuration Guide for information about these limitations.
• 3Com SuperStack II Switches
To interoperate with the switch, disable the Trunk Control Message Protocol (TCMP) on all of
the ports that are being used with HP Integrity servers.
