4. Verify that the VLAN with ID 333 is tagged to Trk3. Enter:
HP ProCurve Switch 5308xl# show vlan 333
Status and Counters - VLAN Information - Ports - VLAN 333

Trk3
VLAN 333 has been successfully tagged to Trk3.
On the server side, complete the following steps:
1. Create link aggregate lan900 using ports lan3 and lan4. Enter:
# nwmgr -a -S apa -A links=3,4 -I 900
Addition of links 3 4 to lan900 succeeded.
2. Create the VLAN with ID 333 over lan900. Enter:
# nwmgr -a -S vlan -A vlanid=333, ppa=900
VLAN interface lan5000 successfully configured.
lan5000 current values:
VPPA = 5000
Related PPA = 900
VLAN ID = 333
VLAN Name = UNNAMED
Priority = 0
Priority Override Level = CONF_PRI
ToS = 0
ToS Override Level = IP_HEADER

Configuring VLANs over failover groups

You can improve the availability of VLANs by configuring VLANs over a failover group. To
ensure success, each port (or link aggregate) used in the failover group must be tagged with the
IDs of the VLANs to be created over it. Before creating the failover group, you must decide the
ports to include in the failover group.
Figure D-2 (page 107)
lan901 as the active port with ports lan5 and lan6 as the standby ports. To protect against
switch failures, link aggregate lan901 is connected through Switch 1, and ports lan5 and lan6
are connected to Switch 2. Switches 1 and 2 are connected to each other as well as the outgoing
network. Two VLANs, with IDs 333 and 334, operate over failover group lan902.
