Display Options

To display HP APA information, use the following syntax and options with the -x (lowercase) option:

lanadmin [-x -g portPPA anyLinkAggregatePPA]

[-x [ –h –H ] anyLinkAggregatePPA]

[-x -i linkAggregatePPA]

[-x -k portPPA anyLinkAggregatePPA]

[-x -l linkAggregatePPA]

[-x -m anyLinkAggregatePPA ]

[-x -n anyLinkAggregatePPA ]

[-x -p portPPA anyLinkAggregatePPA]

[-x -q portPPA anyLinkAggregatePPA]

[-x -s portPPA anyLinkAggregatePPA]

[-x -t portPPA anyLinkAggregatePPA]

[-x -v linkAggregatePPA]

[-x -y linkAggregatePPA]

[-x vmtu linkAggregatePPA]

Where:

-g

-x -g portPPA anyLinkAggregatePPA

Displays the current group capability number of the specified port or link aggregate. This applies to MANUAL and FEC_AUTO ports.

-h

-x -h anyLinkAggregatePPA

Displays the help screen.

-H

-x -H anyLinkAggregatePPA

Displays the extended help screen, which includes a list of the -x and -X options and the syntax.

-i

-x -i linkAggregatePPA

Displays the port status associated with the link aggregation or failover group. Following is the information displayed for this option.

Link aggregation or failover group PPA number.
Link aggregation mode.
Load-balancing mode used by the link aggregation.
The port or ports of the link aggregation or failover group actively involved in sending and receiving data traffic.
For failover groups (), the ports that are in state ready to takeover data traffic in case the current active port fails.
The ports that are not ready to be used in a link aggregation or failover group. A port can be in this list due to:
- The link state of the NIC is down.
- The NIC is experiencing a hardware problem, which is causing unexpected failures.
- The NIC has been configured to run an APA auto protocol and it has not reached a stable state.
For failover groups (), a list of the ports in the "ready" list that have connectivity to the current active port. A port in the ready list might not be displayed in this field because connectivity might have been lost after forming the failover group.




	NOTE: This field might not be accurate after a link state change until `POLL_INTERVAL * DEAD_COUNT` seconds have expired.

Following is sample output for link aggregation:

Link Aggregate PPA #             : 900
Link Aggregation Mode            : MANUAL
Load Balance Mode                : IP Address based (LB_IP)
Active Ports PPA #               : 3 4
Port(s) not ready                : 5 6

Following is sample output for a failover group (LAN Monitor):

In this example, 3, 4, 5 are in same subnet and 6, 7 are in different subnet, and port 5 is down.

Link Aggregate PPA #             : 901
Link Aggregation Mode            : LAN_MONITOR
Load Balance Mode                : Hot Standby (LB_HOT_STANDBY)
Active Ports PPA #               : 3
Port(s) ready                    : 4 6 7
Port(s) not ready                : 5
Port(s) connected to active port : 4
