Port Aggregation (APA)
SYNOPSIS
port/aggregate_instance}
port/aggregate_instance]
port/aggregate_instance]
port/aggregate_instance}
aggregate_instance}
Remarks
The and commands are deprecated. These commands will be removed in a
future HP-UX release. HP recommends the use of replacement command to
perform all network interface-related tasks.
DESCRIPTION
The program is the unified command to administer all LAN and RDMA-based
interfaces of HP-UX. You can find general information about the com‐
mand in the nwmgr(1M) manpage. This manpage describes as applied to
the APA interfaces.
The subsystem name for APA interfaces is APA interfaces include link
aggregates and failover groups configured in the system.
The commands described here are for interactive administration of HP-UX
APA interfaces.
The command can be used to display information (with the option, which
is the default), to add ports to APA interfaces (with the option), to
clear APA interfaces (with the option), to modify settings (with the
option), to rebalance the load among member links in a link aggregate,
reset statistics (with the option), to obtain the usage information
(with the option), and to diagnose link connectivity (with the option).
port_instance refers to physical link PPA; aggregate_instance refers to
link aggregate PPA or failover group PPA.
Operations other than require the authorization. For more information
about authorizations and Role-based Access Control, see rbac(5).
The settings of the APA interface on the system can be saved to the and
configuration files so that these settings will take effect across
reboots.
You can obtain output in each case in either human-readable format
(which is the default) or in a script-friendly parse-able format (with
the or option).
The format for script-friendly output is described in the nwmgr(1M)
manpage. It is guaranteed that any change in the scriptable output
across releases will contain only additions. The existing content will
not be modified or deleted. The content of human-readable format can
change across releases though the changes can be expected to be incre‐
mental.
Operations
The command provides the following operations for the APA interface:
Creates or adds ports to a mode link aggregate or mode failover group.
Performs Critical Resource Analysis (CRA) on a link aggregate
or a failover group.
Clears or deletes some ports from a link aggregate or a
failover group.
Diagnoses or tests link connectivity.
The argument currently supported by APA is: which specifies the
connectivity test to be performed for diagnostics.
Gets or displays global attributes, or gets or displays the settings of
a physical port, a link aggregate, or a failover group. This is
the default operation if none is specified.
Displays help information.
Resets statistics or rebalances the load among member
links in a link aggregate. Also resets the link aggregate
itself.
Sets global attributes or sets the attributes of a
physical port or a link aggregate.
Options
In addition to operations, the following options are valid for APA:
Specifies attributes for an operation. For APA, use this with the and
operations.
See the section for valid attributes for APA interfaces.
Specifies the target interface on which the operation is to be per‐
formed.
If the target is a link aggregate or a failover group, is not
needed.
For APA, the target interface is of the form: or
aggregate_instance
The link aggregate Physical Point of Attachment (PPA) or
failover group PPA.
port_instance
The PPA of an APA supported physical link.
Specifies that the operation is to be performed on the current configu‐
ration.
If neither nor is specified, the command defaults to implicitly.
Forces the operation to be done.
Specifies the configuration from which the operation will copy
data.
The argument currently supported by APA is:
Specifies the PPA of the target interface on which the operation is to
be performed.
For APA, the target interface is of the form: aggregate_instance
or port_instance:
aggregate_instance
The link aggregate PPA or failover group PPA.
port_instance
The PPA of an APA supported physical link.
Specifies the number of seconds between the sending of two test packets
for
diagnostics. Used with the diagnose operation.
Specifies the number of frames to be sent for diagnostics.
Used with the diagnose operation.
Specifies a generic target qualifier was used to specify a subsystem
specific target qualifier.
The arguments currently supported by APA are (link aggregate
data flow) for operation and (global APA attributes) for opera‐
tion.
Specifies the target subsystem for the operation.
For APA subsystem, the option argument is always:
Specifies that the operation must be performed on the saved configura‐
tion
(persistent store).
Displays the output in script friendly format.
Specifies that the operation applies to the statistics of the target.
Specifies verbose output to display more detail.
Displays statistics output counter for monitor mode in its full width
in one line even when it is more than the terminal width.

USAGE
The common usages of for APA interfaces are described in this section.
Display Network Interfaces
The command without any arguments displays all the network
interfaces on the system, including physical LAN interfaces
(NICs), virtual LAN interfaces (VLANs and APA aggregates), and
RDMA-based interfaces.
Creating a MANUAL Link Aggregate
This command creates a mode link aggregate with PPA of aggre‐
gate_instance.
The attribute specifies a list of port instance numbers (sepa‐
rated by commas) for the ports. Only the PPAs of physical ports
can be specified when creating a link aggregate.
Optionally, the load balancing algorithm of the link aggregate
can be specified using the attribute. If it is not specified,
the link aggregate's current load balancing algorithm is used.
The option is ignored when creating a mode link aggregate.
When adding ports to an existing mode link aggregate, the ports'
mode can be either or if some ports are in mode, either specify
or use the option to explicitly change ports' mode.
After the link aggregate is created, its attribute (in other
words, cannot be changed.
Refer to the section for details regarding the attributes sup‐
ported by the operation.
Creating a LAN_MONITOR Failover Group
This command creates a failover group using the ports specified
in the PPA list. When creating a failover group, a set of
attributes may be defined to specify the behavior of the
failover group:
See the section for information about these attributes.
and are used to determine which port is the active port in a
failover group; has precedence over The lower the cost value,
the more preferable. The higher the priority value, the more
preferable. If either or is specified, the number of values
must be the same as the number of ports specified in
When creating a failover group, if attribute is not specified,
then the first port's priority will be 5, others will be 3. If
is specified, failover group's failover policy will cost-based;
otherwise, the failover policy will be priority-based by
default.
For details about priority-based and cost-based failover, see
the at
When adding ports to an existing failover group, if is not spec‐
ified, the new port's priority value is set to the minimum pri‐
ority value of ports inside the failover group. If the is not
specified, the new port's cost value is set to the maximum cost
value of ports inside the failover group.
After the failover group is created, its attributes cannot be
changed. For example, its failover policy cannot be changed
from priority-based to cost-based by specifying to the new
ports.
When adding ports to an existing failover group, the ports can
be in or mode. If there are ports in mode, either specify or
use the option to explicitly change ports' mode.
A failover group should consist of two or more connected ports.
If the connectivity tests fail, the command terminates with an
error. If only one port is specified in a command to create
failover group, the command also terminates with an error. The
option may be used to ignore these errors and force the opera‐
tion. Use this option carefully as the health of the ports can‐
not be monitored.
Creating an FEC_AUTO or LACP_AUTO Link Aggregate
Step 1. On the target link aggregate, set the or so that the ports with
same or value will join it:
Step 2: For each port that should join the same target link aggregate,
set or value that is same as that used in Step 1. Also set the
to the intended AUTO mode.
This series of commands creates a or a link aggregate.
For a link aggregate, you must specify the value.
For a link aggregate, you must specify the value. The attribute
is the abbreviation of
The or attribute indicates the ability of a physical LAN inter‐
face to aggregate together with other physical LAN interfaces to
from a link aggregate in the corresponding mode. The first com‐
mand sets the value of the link aggregate, and optionally, the
load balancing algorithm used by the aggregate. After the value
is established on the link aggregate, for each port that is to
be in the link aggregate, enter the second command to set the
port's value and to start the protocol on the port. For a port
to join the link aggregate, its value must match the value of
the link aggregate.
When the option is used, the command output will be terse; it
can be processed by a text processing utility.
Clearing a Link Aggregate or a Failover Group
This command removes all the ports from a link aggregate or a
failover group. If the APA interface is a critical resource
(another resource depends on the availability of the APA inter‐
face), the operation will fail with an error of Information
describing the interface as a critical resource is displayed.
To override the critical resource error, use the option. How‐
ever, when the interface is a system critical resource, the
option has no effect.
When clearing a link aggregate that is inside a failover group,
the link aggregate will be removed from its parent failover
group.
Removing ports from an Aggregate Interface
This command removes some of the ports that are currently in a
link aggregate or a failover group. To delete all of the ports,
specify the option. Use the attribute to specify the PPAs of
the ports to be removed. If the PPAs of all the ports in the
link aggregate are specified, the behavior is the same as clear‐
ing of the link aggregate.
Critical resource analysis is done to determine whether the
deletion of the ports will cause the link aggregate or a
failover group to be a critical resource. If it becomes a crit‐
ical resource, the delete operation fails with an exit code of
Information describing the interface as a critical resource is
displayed. To override this error, use the option. However,
when the interface is a system critical resource, the option has
no effect.
Set APA Attributes to a Port or Link Aggregate Interface
This command updates the port/aggregate attribute to the value
user specified. You can update multiple attributes with one
command invocation. Those attribute values that are valid will
be set for the link aggregate or APA port instance. Some
attributes are only applicable to APA ports while others may
only be applicable to link aggregates.
For each attribute on which an error is reported, the APA dis‐
plays the reason the attribute cannot be set. See the section
for the attributes compatible with the command.
Save Global APA Attributes to APA Configuration Files
This command writes the values of APA global attributes to the
configuration file. Multiple attributes can be passed to the
same command.
When an attribute value is not valid, the attribute is not
updated in the configuration file. Only those that passed the
validation will be updated.
The new value for a APA attribute overrides its previously
defined value. However, the new attribute value takes effect
only after the system is rebooted. See the section for informa‐
tion on the APA attributes.
Save all the current APA configuration to the APA configuration Files
This command saves all the settings made by the user to the APA
configuration files. All current APA port attribute values are
saved to the file. The current link aggregate configuration and
the related link aggregate attribute values are saved to the
file. The current failover group configuration and the related
attribute values are saved to the file.
The information saved to the configuration files allows the cur‐
rent APA system configuration to be recreated after the system
is rebooted.
View All APA Interfaces
This command displays all APA interfaces. Note that is the
default operation. The option displays all APA interfaces and
physical LAN interfaces that support APA.
The form without the verbose option displays a table, with one
row for each interface that gets listed.
View All or Selected Attributes of an APA or a Physical LAN Interface
port/aggregate_instance}
This command displays all attributes or selected attributes of
an APA or physical LAN interface. Use commas to separate multi‐
ple attributes. When you specify all attributes are displayed.
See the section for a list of valid attributes.
View All or Selected Global APA Attributes
This command displays all global attributes or selected global
attributes. Use commas to separate multiple attributes. When
you specify all APA global attributes are displayed. With spec‐
ified in command line, current APA global attributes saved in
kernel are displayed.
With the specified in command line, APA global attributes saved
in the configuration file are displayed. See the section for a
list of valid attributes.
View APA Interface Statistics
aggregate_instance}
This command displays the MIB statistics of a link aggregate.
This command is equivalent to the command.
View APA Interface Statistics in Monitor Mode
This command displays the MIB statistics of a link aggregate in
its monitor mode, that is, displays the statistics continuously
using default or user specified interval time period for the
number of iterations specified. The statistics also includes
that of the member ports of the link aggregate. The default
counter option is packet and the default value option is delta.
If no interval value is specified, the default value is 1 sec‐
ond, and if no iteration value is specified, the default value
is 0, which means monitor indefinitely.
Reset the MIB Statistics of an APA Interface
To have the statistics reset on a link aggregate or failover
group, do the above command.
This command cannot be used to reset the statistics of a link aggregate
inside a failover group. In this case, returns
Rebalance the Load Among Member Links in a Link Aggregate
This command restarts the load balancing on the member links of
a link aggregate. This command has no effect on failover
groups.
Reset the link aggregate
This command resets a link aggregate or failover group.
Perform Critical Analysis (CRA) on an APA Interface
The output from this command is a criticality report describing
the system resource that depends on the APA interface. When the
option is supplied, the command output is in a form that can be
parsed by a text processing utility.
Diagnose Link Connectivity
This command performs connectivity test on the APA interface.
The keyword specifies that a linkloop test is to be performed.
Currently, the APA diagnostics command only supports this test.
This test requires a working LAN interface to which the inter‐
face under test will send test packets. The option specifies
the amount of the time between the sending of two test packets.
The option specifies the number of packets to pass for the test.
RETURN VALUES
The APA command returns the following:
0 On success.
>0 On failure. See the section for a list of error return values.
ERRORS
Operation or attribute is not supported.
One or more of the attributes or options is invalid for the task.
One or more attribute is invalid for the task because its value
is out-of-range, or the target instance is larger than
the maximum instance number that can support APA.
The target interface could not be accessed,
or there is no valid port specified in attributes when
trunking.
Number of ports specified in attribute
is too great.
Port specified in attribute
is not available for trunking because it is already
inside some aggregate, or is running auto negotiation.
The target or port is not accessible.
Some reasons are: some port is used by other applica‐
tions when trunking, the Critical Resource Analysis
failed when deleting ports, or the target is inside some
failover group when doing diagnostic test or resetting
MIB statistics.
Memory allocation failed.
