1.Connect lan1 and lan2 to the same switch or to different switches or hubs on the same subnet.

NOTE: Be sure that trunking is not enabled on the switch ports.

2.Obtain the station address for lan2 by issuing the lanscan command, as follows:

# lanscan

The station address is 0x0060B04B7B83.

3.Verify that there is link connectivity between lan1 and lan2, as follows:

#linkloop -i 1 0x0060B04B7B83

Link connectivity to LAN station: 0x0060B04B7B83

--OK

#

If there is no link connectivity, resolve the connectivity issue between the devices.

4.Verify that an entry exists in the /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf file for the and standby interfaces that sets the interfaces' port configuration mode to LAN_MONITOR.

HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan1

HP_APAPORT_CONFIG_MODE[0]=LAN_MONITOR

HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan2

HP_APAPORT_CONFIG_MODE[1]=LAN_MONITOR

5.Activate the configuration by entering:

#/sbin/init.d/hplm stop

#/sbin/init.d/hpapa stop

#/sbin/init.d/hpapa start

#/sbin/init.d/hplm start

6.If the device to be the link does not have the desired IP address, enter ifconfig to assign the IP address. Also add an entry to the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file to assign the IP address permanently (or use SAM to do it).

#ifconfig lan1 192.1.1.153

7.Enter the lanqueryconf -scommand to query the system for possible failover groups.

#lanqueryconf -s

ASCII output is in the /etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii file.

a.Verify that the content of the ASCII file is valid. Enter lancheckconf:

#lancheckconf

b.View the contents of the /etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii file and verify that it contains the configuration information you want.

#cat /etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii

See “lanconfig.ascii File” (page 100) for an example of this file.

c.Verify that /etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii has the failover group configured, as planned.

# cat /etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii

d.Edit the file, if needed, and enter lancheckconf again.
