This field describes the aggregation where a port is currently located. If two
rows contain the same value, they are part of the same aggregation.
Manual Agg #
If LACP is disabled (i.e., Lacp Enabled = No), then the user sets this field to
describe which ports should be in the same aggregation.
LACP State
Indicates the LACP state (OK, N/A, or Fail). This field is view only.
Failover
The minimum number of links that must be remaining in an aggregation in
order for aggregation failover to occur. When failover occurs for a port, traffic
that would normally be directed over the link that went down is redistributed
across the remaining links in the aggregation. Ports that are running in failover
mode do not count towards the number of remaining links.
For an EVIC, this value should be 0 or 1.
If the value is 0, failover is disabled. In this case when a link goes down, all
viPorts using that Ethernet port will receive a 'link down' event regardless of
the state of other links in the aggregation. This causes the viPort to failover
to the Secondary definition (this could possibly be a different EVIC).
If the value is 1 and a link goes down, there must be 1 or more remaining
links in the aggregation for the viPort to consider the port to still be up and
can continue to send data.
Actor Key
If LACP is enabled, then the user inputs an identical Actor Key in each row
that is to be part of the same aggregation. If LACP is disabled, this field is
greyed out. Valid values are 1-65535.
Actor ID
This field is set by the EVIC firmware. A remote Ethernet switch uses the
combination of Actor ID and Actor Key to uniquely-define an aggregation..
This field is view only.
Partner Port
This field is significant for only the ports having LACP Enabled. For those
ports, this indicates the the port number of the remote switch at the opposite
end of the Ethernet cable. This field is view only.
Partner Key
This field is significant for only the ports having LACP Enabled. For those
ports, this indicates the partner key for the aggregation of the remote switch
at the opposite end of the Ethernet cable. This field is view only.
