HP UX Auto Port Aggregation (APA) Software manual Using lanadmin Interactively

To add ports lan1 and lan2 (which are not aggregated) to link aggregate lan901 (which is not enabled), with the group capability set to 901, do the following:

1.Configure the switch.

Configure your switches' trunking mode to match the mode being used on the server. The mode is Cisco Fast EtherChannel (FEC).

2.Configure the server:

a.Set the link aggregate's group capability to 901. Enter: lanadmin -X -g 901 901 900

b.Change the port's group capability to be the same as the link aggregate's group capability (901).

#lanadmin -X -g 1 901 900

#lanadmin -X -g 2 901 900

c.Change ports lan1 and lan2 mode to FEC_AUTO.

#lanadmin -X -p 1 FEC_AUTO 900

#lanadmin -X -p 2 FEC_AUTO 900

NOTE: By default, the group_capability of each physical link is set to 5.
