Homework and Emergencies Emergency UNIX and Linux Support HP-UX: Help to Change network configuration from APA manual mode (2Gbps) to simple fail over (1Gbps) Post 302906618 by hicksd8 on Saturday 21st of June 2014 03:18:33 PM

Firstly, I'm not a HP-UX expert but having read your post I feel compelled to comment.

In aggregate mode the box should be sending packets on both interfaces (to use the bandwidth) which is the idea of aggregate in the first place.

Any aggregate interfaces on any operating system worth its salt will effectively failover to the surviving interface if one of them fails. So no need to specifically configure 'failover' instead of 'aggregate'.

If the box was sending on both interfaces and experiencing packet loss on one of them then that is a network problem not a Unix problem. Your network boys have changed something. It's quite okay for the network switches to see the same MAC address provided they are configured to expect that.

So, talking purely generically (and not HP-UX specific) I think you should get your network team to fix this issue and not be tempted to mess with your Unix box configuration unnecessarily.

(With your first post going unanswered for 5 days perhaps ask moderators to move it to the HP-UX forum proper where the right experts will see it.)

aggregate-ios

AGGREGATE-IOS(1)					      General Commands Manual						  AGGREGATE-IOS(1)

NAME

       aggregate-ios - optimise a concatenated set of cisco/IOS prefix filters to help make them nice and short.

SYNOPSIS

       aggregate-ios <source_config >optimised_config

DESCRIPTION

       Takes  cisco IOS configuration on stdin, and optimises any prefix filters found using aggregate(1).  Optimised filters are produced on std-
       out.

OPTIONS

       None.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Any diagnostics produced by aggregate(1) are passed through on stderr.

EXAMPLES

       The following configuration fragment:

	 ip prefix-list AS65530 description Foo, Inc
	 ip prefix-list AS65530 permit 10.1.0.0/16
	 ip prefix-list AS65530 permit 10.2.0.0/16
	 ip prefix-list AS65530 permit 10.2.1.0/24
	 ip prefix-list AS65530 permit 10.3.0.0/16
	 ip prefix-list AS65531 description Bar.Com
	 ip prefix-list AS65531 seq 5 permit 192.168.1.0/24
	 ip prefix-list AS65531 seq 10 permit 192.168.2.0/24
	 ip prefix-list AS65531 seq 15 permit 192.168.0.0/19

       is optimised as follows:

	 ip prefix-list AS65530 permit 10.1.0.0/16 le 24
	 ip prefix-list AS65530 permit 10.2.0.0/15 le 24
	 ip prefix-list AS65531 permit 192.168.0.0/19 le 24
