The /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf file contains the following parameters that you can specify for individual ports. All configuration parameters for physical ports begin with the prefix HP_APAPORT_.

HP_APAPORT_CONFIG_MODE

Set the configuration mode for a physical port. The supported values are as follows:

  • FEC_AUTO

  • LACP_AUTO

  • LAN_MONITOR

  • MANUAL

For a description of these parameters, see the mode descriptions in “Preparing for Configuration”.

HP_APAPORT_GROUP_CAPABILITY

For FEC_AUTO only. An integer value used to determine which network physical ports can be aggregated into a common PAgP link aggregate. Set the group capability to be the same for all network physical ports. The group capability must match the group capability 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. “Link Aggregate Advanced Parameters” describes how to choose the group capability for link aggregates. Ports going to different link aggregates should have different group capabilities.

The default group capability is 5.

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” 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 interface when the link aggregate is set to Hot Standby mode (HP_APA_HOT_STANDBY=on).

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.
