| Auto Port Aggregation | | APA. An HP software product that allows grouping
up to eight ports into an aggregate to boost performance and provide
port failover. The eight port limit applies only for FEC_AUTO and
MANUAL mode.
|

F
|

| failover group | | A logical grouping of one or more physical ports
formed by LAN Monitor. The failover group is used as an alternative
if the link fails.

| FEC | | See Fast EtherChannel. The proprietary name of
Cisco's port aggregation product. When referring to FEC mode,
it indicates use of PAgP on a link..

| flow | | A sequence of MAC frames between a pair of hosts
where all of the MAC frames form part of the same conversation between
that pair of hosts.

| link aggregate | | A logical grouping of one or more physical ports
into a single fat-pipe. This term is used to describe LACP_AUTO, Manual,
or PAgP (Cisco Fast EtherChannel) created logical ports.

| linkaggPPA | | The PPA or logical card instance number of a specific
link aggregate.
|
|---|
| load balancing | | A method of distributing traffic across the network
physical ports in a link aggregate. Unicast and multicast traffic
is distributed across the network physical ports in a link aggregate.
Broadcast traffic is always sent out the first network physical port
in a link aggregate
