What does the IPv4 LAN Group Summary show?

The IPv4 LAN group summary lists links or interfaces that are takeover candidates for each other. The stack creates a LAN group when it detects redundant connectivity to a LAN. For each link or interface in the LAN group, this summary displays which link or interface owns ARP responsibility for that link or interface. The summary also displays which link or interface owns the ARP responsibility in the LAN group for any VIPAs.

LanGroup Identifies the LAN group. This identifier is assigned by the stack and represents a group of interfaces on the same LAN. This identifier is not a VLAN ID.

Name The link name configured on the LINK statement or the interface name configured on the INTERFACE statement.

Status The link or interface status. Valid values are Active or Not Active.

ArpOwner The link or interface name that owns ARP responsibility for this link or interface in the LAN group. An active link or interface owns its ARP responsibility.

VipaOwner Indicates whether the link or interface owns the ARP responsibility for the VIPAs in the LAN group.
