Required attributes of the MultiPrivNIC agent

Table: MultiPrivNIC agent attribute definitions below describes the required attributes of the MultiPrivNIC resource type that can be modified.

The MultiPrivNIC agent also has a set of optional attributes, same as the PrivNIC agent, that can be modified.

For the list of optional attributes:

See Optional attributes of the PrivNIC agent.

Table: MultiPrivNIC agent attribute definitions

Attribute	Dimension	Description
Device	string-association	The device attribute specifies the network interface displayed by the ifconfig command and the network ID associated with the interface. The network IDs of the interfaces connected to the same physical network must match. The interfaces specified in the MultiPrivNIC configuration should be exactly the same in name and total number as those which have been used for LLT configuration. An example of the device attribute is as follows: Device@sys1 = {net1=0, net2=1, net3=2} Device@sys2 = {net1=0, net2=1, net3=2}
Address	string-association	The numerical private IP address and its preferred device. The agent verifies that the IP addresses are valid addresses. When you configure private IP addresses, ensure that the addresses do not have a leading 0 in any of the octets that comprise the IP address. The IP address must be in the format " X.X.X.X". In the following example, 0 and 1 indicates the ID of the device on which the IP address is hosted. If the device is unavailable, the agent automatically reconfigures the IP address on one of the available devices. The available device is determined based on the UseLoadBalance attribute setting. An example of the address attribute is as follows: Address @sys1 = { "192.168.12.1" =0, "192.168.2.1" =0, "192.168.3.1" =1 } Address @sys2 = { "192.168.12.2" =0, "192.168.2.2" =0, "192.168.3.2" =1 }
Netmask	string-association	The netmask attribute is the numerical netmask for the private IP address. For example, Netmask = "255.255.255.0".
UseLoadBalance	integer-scalar	Value 0 or 1. In the event that the preferred device is unavailable and multiple links see maximum nodes during failover: Setting the attribute to 1 fails over the IP address to the device with lower traffic. Setting the attribute to 0 fails over the IP address to the device with lower network ID. Note: If the preferred device becomes available, the IP address is failed back to the preferred device regardless of the value of UseLoadBalance.
MTU	string-association	The maximum packet size, in bytes, that can be transmitted over LLT links. This value overrides the default MTU size of the network interface.
EnableUseTroubleState	Boolean	Value 1 or 0. The value 1 indicates that the MultiPrivNIC agent fails over the IP address of a failed link even when the link state is marked trouble. The default value is 1. The value 0 indicates that the MultiPrivNIC agent fails over the IP address of a failed link only when the link state is marked down.
