HP UX Auto Port Aggregation (APA) Software Going to different link aggregates must have different

	physical ports can be aggregated into a common PAgP link
	aggregate. Set the group capability to be the same for
	all network physical ports in the same link aggregate. Ports
	going to different link aggregates must have different
	group capabilities. This value must match the value of
	HP_APAPORT_GROUP_CAPABILITY in the /etc/
	rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf file.
HP_APA_HOT_STANDBY	Configure a link aggregate for Hot Standby mode. This
	parameter is mutually exclusive with the
	HP_APA_LOAD_BALANCE_MODE parameter. In addition,
	HP_APA_HOT_STANDBY takes precedence over the
	HP_APA_LOAD_BALANCE_MODE parameter. The
	permissible values are on and off. The default is off.
	CAUTION: For most versions of HP-UX, use lowercase
	text when specifying on or off for HP_APA_HOT_STANDBY
	in /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaconf. Using uppercase
	text might cause errors. This does not apply to HP APA
	running on HP-UX 11i v2.
HP_APA_INTERFACE_NAME	Name of the link aggregate. For example, lan900 and
	lan901.
HP_APA_KEY	For LACP_AUTO only. An integer value that determines
	which network physical ports can be aggregated into a
	common LACP link aggregate. Set the key to be the same
	for all network physical ports in the same link aggregate.
	Ports going to different link aggregates should have
	different keys. Must match the value of HP_APAPORT_KEY
	in the /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf file.
HP_APA_LACP_SYSTEM_ID_MODE	For LACP_AUTO only, and for the May 2005 and later
	releases of HP APA for HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11.20),
	PHNE_33116 (B.11.11.17) patch release, and December
	2005 and later releases of HP APA for HP-UX 11i v2
	(B.11.23.10) only. Directs APA how to set up the LACP
	System ID. The supported values are as follows:
	FIRST_APA_PORT		Sets the LACP System ID to the
			first supported HP APA port. This
			is the default.
	FIRST_LACP_PORT Sets the LACP System ID to the
			first active (UP) port that starts
			LACP.
HP_APA_LACP_TIMEOUT	For LACP_AUTO mode only. Specifies the length of the
	LACP timeout. This is also a global parameter. For a
	description of this parameter, see “Modifying HP APA
	Global Parameters” (page 63).
HP_APA_LOAD_BALANCE_MODE	Defines the load-balancing mode for the specified link
	aggregate (HP_APA_INTERFACE_NAME). The supported
	values are as follows:
	•	LB_MAC
	•	LB_IP
	•	LB_PORT

For a description of these parameters, see the load distribution algorithms in “Link Aggregate Advanced Parameters” (page 34).
