Q
4 – EVIC Configuration and Monitoring Features
Indicates whether the Ethernet link is up or down (viewable only). LACP Enabled
Indicates whether the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP , IEEE 802.3ad ) is enabled on the port. If LACP is enabled (i.e. LACP Enabled = Yes) then the current aggregation number is selected automatically and the actor key (1- 65535) should be specified (see 'actor key' definition later in this section). If LACP is disabled (i.e., LACP Enabled = No), then the aggregation index should be specified (see Manual Agg# definition below). Disabling LACP is also known as manual mode.
Current Agg #
This field describes the aggregation where a port is currently located. If two rows contain the same value, they are part of the same aggregation.
Manual Agg #
If LACP is disabled (i.e., Lacp Enabled = No), then the user sets this field to describe which ports should be in the same aggregation.
LACP State
Indicates the LACP state (OK, N/A, or Fail). This field is view only. Failover
The minimum number of links that must be remaining in an aggregation in order for aggregation failover to occur. When failover occurs for a port, traffic that would normally be directed over the link that went down is redistributed across the remaining links in the aggregation. Ports that are running in failover mode do not count towards the number of remaining links.
For an EVIC, this value should be 0 or 1.
If the value is 0, failover is disabled. In this case when a link goes down, all viPorts using that Ethernet port will receive a 'link down' event regardless of the state of other links in the aggregation. This causes the viPort to failover to the Secondary definition (this could possibly be a different EVIC).
If the value is 1 and a link goes down, there must be 1 or more remaining links in the aggregation for the viPort to consider the port to still be up and can continue to send data.
Actor Key
If LACP is enabled, then the user inputs an identical Actor Key in each row that is to be part of the same aggregation. If LACP is disabled, this field is greyed out. Valid values are
