Attributes for HP-UX

Required attributes for HP-UX

Required attributes

Description

Address 

A virtual IP address, which is different from the base IP address, and which is associated with the interface. Note that the address you specify must not be the same as the configured physical IP address, but should be on the same network. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: 192.203.47.61 

Example: "192.203.47.61" 

 

Device 

The name of the NIC device that is associated with the IP address. Contains the device name without an alias. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: lan0 

Example: "lan0" 

 

Optional attributes for HP-UX

Required attributes

Description

ArpDelay 

The number of seconds to sleep between configuring an interface and sending out a broadcast to inform routers about this IP address. 

Type and dimension: integer-scalar 

Default: 1 

 

IfconfigTwice 

Causes an IP address to be configured twice using an ifconfig up-down-up command sequence. Increases the probability of gratuitous ARP requests (generated by ifconfig up) to reach clients. 

Type and dimension: integer-scalar 

 

NetMask 

The netmask that is associated with the IP address of the resource. Specify the value of the netmask in decimal (base 10) or hexadecimal (base 16). 

Note   Symantec recommends that you specify a netmask for each virtual interface.

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: 255.255.210.0 

Example: "255.255.210.0" 

 

Options 

Options for the ifconfig command. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: broadcast 192.203.15.255 

Example: "broadcast 192.203.15.255" 

 

RouteOptions 

Specifies the routing options that are passed to the route add command when the agent configures an interface. The RouteOptions attribute value is generally formed like this: "destination gateway metric"

For details about the route command, refer to the man page for your operating system. 

When the value of this string is null, the agent does not add routes. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: "192.100.201.0 192.100.13.7" 

In this example, the agent executes the "route add 192.100.201.0 192.100.13.7" command when it configures an interface.
