When you complete getting APA to work exactly what you want it to save your configuration with the following command: nwmgr -s -S apa -A all –saved –from cu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

nwmgr -s -f -c lan1 -A mtu=1500 –cu<\/p>\n\n\n\n

### change mtu on lan1 to 1500 (lanadmin -M 1 1500)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Found some really useful information on APA. So good I won’t risk it disappearing. Pretty much here for my own reference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
