My first question is where is configured on the sistem a mac address 0xd8d385f65f3c ? i don't find it.

this is a configuration of apa on my server:

nwmgr -g -S apa
Class    Mode        Load      Speed-               Membership
Instance             Balancing Duplex
======== =========== ========= ==================== ===========================
lan900   LACP_AUTO   LB_PORT   2 Gbps Full Duplex   38,36                      
lan901   LACP_AUTO   LB_PORT   2 Gbps Full Duplex   39,37                      
lan902   Not_Enabled LB_MAC    0 Mbps                -                         
lan903   Not_Enabled LB_MAC    0 Mbps                -                         
lan904   Not_Enabled LB_MAC    0 Mbps         
Can me explain LACP_AUTO, LB_PORT ?

if a lan36 go down, in this situation lan900 stay up at how many speed?

Thanks a lot
