IP Agent
The IP agent assigns a virtual IP address to the network interface card (NIC), monitors the IP address, and removes it. The agent also monitors the associated subnet mask on a NIC. You must plumb the interface with the base IP address before you configure the IP agent. The virtual IP address specified in the configuration must not be one currently in use.
VERITAS supports Auto-port Aggregation (APA) with the NIC and IP agents.
