HP UX Auto Port Aggregation (APA) Software Lanadmin Command, Manually Editing Configuration Files

lanadmin Command

You can also use the lanadmin command from the HP-UX command line to make changes to HP APA. By default, those changes are not preserved across reboots. For more information about the lanadmin command and using it to administer APA, see lanadmin(1M) and Chapter 4 (page 51), respectively.

Manually Editing Configuration Files

Some sections of this manual describe the system files that are updated or modified when you perform an administrative task. Experienced UNIX administrators might prefer to administer their systems manually by editing these files, as opposed to invoking the documented utility; however, HP strongly recommends that you use SAM to update the system files.

In many cases, the SAM is the best alternative to manually editing system files, thus it is the utility that is most frequently discussed in this manual.
