# By default, LM_RAPID_ARP is on.
# If LM_RAPID_ARP is on, the valid ranges are:
# LM_RAPID_ARP_INTERVAL: 1000000-4000000 (default:1000000 usec
# LM_RAPID_ARP_COUNT: 5 - 60 (default is 10)
# (LM_RAPID_ARP_INTERVAL * LM_RAPID_ARP_COUNT) <= 60s

# Note: **
# **
# In Proactive Failover, the active port of a fail-over group **
# is the port with the minimum normalized port cost. This means **
# a fail-over group will change its active port to a ready port **
# having a lower normalized port cost, even when the current **
# active port remains up. You must use cost-based fail-over **
# groups in order to get the Proactive Failover behavior. **
# **
# To define a cost-based fail-over group, all the ports in the **
# fail-over group must have a cost defined. Cost has a valid **
# range of between 1 and 100, inclusive. The value must be **
# preceded by a colon (:) character. **
# **
# If one of the ports in a fail-over group does not have a cost **
# defined, the fail-over group is invalid. **
# **
# If all ports in a fail-over group have no cost defined, the **
# default failover behavior is used. The available port with **
# the highest priority becomes the active port. **
# **
# By default, the lanqueryconf -s command creates only **
# priority-based fail-over groups. **
# **
# Example with cost defined: **
# FAILOVER_GROUP lan903 **
# STATIONARY_IP 195.55.55.55 **
# # Pri/Stdby I/f Pri Cost **
# PRIMARY lan900 7 : 1 **
# STANDBY lan901 6 : 2 **

The lanconfig.ascii configuration file contains the following
fields: - FAILOVER_GROUP
The name for a single LAN Monitor failover group.
You must specify a name for each LAN Monitor failover group on the
system. If the group consists of multiple ports (multiple PPAs), the
name format is lan9XX, where XX is a decimal number starting
with 00 (for example, lan900). Each FAILOVER_GROUP can have the following keywords: - STATIONARY_IP
The IPv4 or IPv6 address dedicated
to the failover group. This is a required field; you must set it for
each failover group before running lanapplyconf. - PRIMARY
Specifies the active port for the FAILOVER_GROUP. Each failover group must have one port. This
port is typically assigned the highest priority or lowest cost value
so it will be the port that initially carries traffic. The port can
also have IP addresses configured. After lanapplyconf creates the failover group, the IP addresses on the port (if present)
are moved to the failover group. In previous versions of HP APA, the port must
have IP address configured and must be the highest priority or lowest
cost. In the HP-UX 11i v3 version of HP APA, you can assign the port
any priority or cost values. You also need not configure an IP address
on it. HP recommends that you always assign the port the highest priority
or the lowest cost in a failover group. - STANDBY
Specifies a standby port for the FAILOVER_GROUP. A standby port is a port that replaces the active port when the
active is incapable of carrying traffic. Specify this keyword only
if the failover group has more than one port. A failover group must
have one or more standby ports.
Both the PRIMARY and STANDBY keywords have the following fields: The LAN interface name (for example, lan0 and lan1). The port priority that will be assigned to the port.
The port with the highest priority is the port. A cost value for the LAN interface preceded by a colon
(:). This is an optional field. See “Proactive Failover” for more information.
- POLLING_INTERVAL
The number of microseconds between polling messages.
You can specify this keyword multiple times in the configuration file.
A link aggregate's polling interval is set to the last specified
interval. For a description of this parameter, see “Failover Group Advanced Parameters”. - DEAD_COUNT
The number of polling packets that are missed before
LAN Monitor sends a nettl log message to the user
that indicates the link might have problems and the network should
be checked. For a description of this parameter, see “Failover Group Advanced Parameters”. - LM_RAPID_ARP
Enables (on) or disables (off) the ability to transmit
gratuitous ARP messages at intervals shorter than 5 seconds. By default, LM_RAPID_ARP is off. For a description of this parameter,
see “Failover Group Advanced Parameters”. - LM_RAPID_ARP_INTERVAL
The number of microseconds between rapid gratuitous
ARP messages. If the value is out of the valid range and LM_RAPID_ARP is on, the interval value last processed with
the lanapplyconf command is used. If LM_RAPID_ARP is off, this value is ignored for the corresponding failover group.
For a description of this parameter, see “Failover Group Advanced Parameters”. - LM_RAPID_ARP_COUNT
The number of gratuitous ARP packets sent rapidly.
If the value is not in the valid range and LM_RAPID_ARP is on, the count value last processed with the lanapplyconf is used. If LM_RAPID_ARP is off, this value is
ignored for the corresponding failover group. For a description of
this parameter, see “Failover Group Advanced Parameters”.
If you specify the POLLING_INTERVAL, DEAD_COUNT, LM_RAPID_ARP_INTERVAL, and LM_RAPID_ARP_COUNT fields once in the lanconfig.ascii file before all failover, the values apply
to all failover groups. If you specify them multiple times in the
file, the values apply only to those failover groups that follow these
fields; you can set different values for failover groups. |
