2.Configure HP APA. Do the following:

a.Unplug all LAN connections to be aggregated.

For four-port aggregations, the beginning port number must be a number divisible by 4 plus 1 (for example, 1, 5, 9, 13). Use the following command to create a four-port aggregation:

HP9304(config)#trunk server e 1/5 to 1/8

c.Save the configuration. Enter:

HP9304(config)#write mem

d.Reboot the switch. Enter the following:

HP9304(config)#exit HP9304#reload

e.After switch reboots, plug in the cables and display the trunk configuration as follows:

HP9304>show trunk
