HP APA aggregates multiple network interfaces so that they appear as a single interface. For example you can combine lan0 and lan1 and call the combined interface lan9000. You then use the NIC agent to monitor the lan9000 interface. You use the IP agent to configure and monitor an IP address on the lan9000 interface. Note that you use the lan9000 interface configured through APA for the Device attribute.
The IP and NIC agents support APA use with VCS. APA is responsible for providing local adapter swapping, which is outside of VCS control.
