[Md. Minhaz Khan]

Dear all,
We want to configure APA so that it can support both fail over and load balancing. I mean when both LAN is in good status it will work load balance and if one LAN card become faulty, service will still continue with other LAN card.

So which mode should i select from below list to achieve my requirement:

1)Manual
2)FEC_AUTO
3)LACP_AUTO
4)LAN_MONITOR

Can any one help me detail steps configuration of below files to achieve my requirements.

1)/etc/rc.config.d/netconf
2) /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf
3)/etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaconf

Note:Our OS :B.11.31

Please also see below commands output.

hi

can refer to APPENDIX pages 106 onwards of this Doc
http://docs.hp.com/en/J4240-90046/J4240-90046.pdf

now Port config mode depends on the hardware supports or not or the Switch supports or not.

then start the services.

#/sbin/init.d/hplm stop
#/sbin/init.d/hpapa stop
#/sbin/init.d/hpapa start
#/sbin/init.d/hplm satrt

then you can use SAM and go to Network And Communications and open Network Interface cards there on the APA Port you can give the IP Address.
