|
rcPortIndex
|
Specifies the switch and port number.
|
|
AdminEnable
|
Enables or disables VLACP on a port. The default value is False.
|
|
OperEnable
|
Indicates whether VLACP is operationally enabled or disabled. This
is a read-only field.
|
|
FastPeriodicTimer
|
Specifies the number of milliseconds between periodic transmissions
using short timeouts. Valid values range from 400-20000 with a default
of 500.
|
|
SlowPeriodicTimer
|
Specifies the number of milliseconds between periodic transmissions
using long timeouts. Valid values range from 10000-30000 with a default
of 30000.
|
|
Timeout
|
Specifies whether the timeout control value is a short or long
timeout.
|
|
TimeoutScale
|
Sets a timeout scale for the port, where timeout = (periodic time)
* (timeout scale).
The range is 1-10. Default is 3.
Note: With
VLACP, a short interval exists between a port transmitting a VLACPDU
and the partner port receiving the same VLACPDU. However, if the timeout-scale
is set to less than 3, the port timeout value does not take into account
the normal travel time of the VLACPDU. The port expects to receive
a VLACPDU at the same moment the partner port sends it. Therefore,
the delayed VLACPDU results in the link being blocked, and then enabled
again when the packet arrives. To prevent this scenario from happening,
set the timeout-scale to a value larger than 3. If a VLACP partner
does not receive a VLACPDU during (periodic time)*(timeout scale)
the system sets the link as VLACP down.

|
EtherType
|
Specifies VLACP protocol identification. The ID value is a 4-digit
Hex number, with a default of 8103.
|
|
EtherMacAddress
|
The default value is 00:00:00:00:00:00 and it can be configured
with the MAC address of the switch or stack to which this port is
sending VLACPDUs. It cannot be configured as a multicast MAC.
Note: VLACP
has only one multicast MAC address, configured using the MulticastMACAddress
field in the VLACP Global tab, which is the Layer 2 destination address
used for the VLACPDUs. The port-specific EtherMACAddresss parameter
does not specify a multicast MAC address, but instead specifies the
MAC address of the switch or stack to which this port is sending VLACPDUs.
You are not always required to configure EtherMACAddresss. If not
configured, the first VLACP-enabled switch that receives the PDUs
from a unit assumes that it is the intended recipient and processes
the PDUs accordingly.
If you want an intermediate switch to drop VLACP packets, configure
the EtherMACAddresss field with the desired destination MAC address.
With EtherMACAddresss configured, the intermediate switches do not
misinterpret the VLACP packets.

|
PortState
|
Identifies whether the VLACP port state is up or down. This is
a read-only field.
