Displaying HP APA configuration information
The nwmgr command enables you to display configuration information for all APA interfaces, for
physical ports, and for global parameters. Example 4 shows the nwmgr command output when
no options are specified. The output shows all configured interfaces, both physical ports and link
aggregates (beginning with lan900).
