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

nwmgr -s -f -c lan1 -A mtu=1500 –cu

### change mtu on lan1 to 1500 (lanadmin -M 1 1500)

Found some really useful information on APA. So good I won’t risk it disappearing. Pretty much here for my own reference.
