HP Auto Port Aggregation Administrator's Guide HP-UX 11i v3 (766140-001, March 2014)

NOTE: Cisco's Fast EtherChannel (FEC) packets are not counted in the link aggregate statistics.
This is required because the FEC packets never traverse the link aggregate, they only traverse the
port.
Link aggregates support 64-bit statistics based on the following rules:
• Aggregates support the 64-bit MIB (Management Information Base) if all the member links
are capable of 64-bit statistics when the aggregate is created.
• The 64-bit statistics capability will be downgraded to 32 bits if the aggregate membership
changes to include one or more links that are not 64-bit MIB capable. After the aggregate's
64-bit MIB capability is downgraded, it will never be upgraded again for the life of the
aggregate.
To display statistics, use the nwmgr --st -I instance -S apa command. Example 1 shows
32-bit MIB statistics returned from this command.

# nwmgr --st -I 900 -S apa
