To create VLANs over link aggregates or failover groups, complete the following steps:

  1. Decide what ports are to be part of the link aggregate or failover group. Then, decide on the VLANs that will be created over the link aggregate or failover group.

  2. Configure the trunks and VLANs on the switch according to the switch’s documentation. If you want to enable a VLAN on a link aggregate, its trunk on the switch side must be tagged with the VLAN’s ID.

    If you want to enable a VLAN on a failover group, the member ports of the failover group on the switch side must be tagged with the VLAN’s ID.

  3. On the server side, create the link aggregates or failover groups. Then, create the VLANs over the link aggregate or failover group.

After a link aggregate is in use, you can create, modify, and delete VLANs over it. Users can leave behind VLANs after the link aggregate or failover group has been cleared. If the link aggregate or failover group has been cleared, users can neither create VLANs nor modify any VLANs on the link aggregate or failover group. Users can only delete the VLANs.

See Appendix D for examples of configuring VLANs over APA using HP Procurve switches.
