By default, SMH changes the current APA configuration and saves the information and APA
configuration to the /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaconf, /etc/rc.config.d/
hp_apaportconf, and /etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii files, which maintains the modified
APA global parameter changes across reboots.

Performing Critical Resource Analysis

Critical Resource Analysis (CRA) provides usage analysis for interfaces (ports and link aggregates).
This includes applications that are using the interfaces. To perform CRA, do the following:
1. Select a link aggregate in the APA main page to display the detailed view of the link
aggregate.
2. Click Perform CRA to perform CRA and to display the results in the Critical Resource
Analysis page.
3. Click OK to display the APA main page.

Stopping FEC or LACP protocol

In some cases, a port is set to run LACP or FEC, but the link partner does not run the same or
the port cannot be trunked. The port will remain not trunked, but still running one of the two
automatic negotiation protocols. You can typically see these ports on the APA main page.
To stop the LACP or
1. Select a port with LACP or FEC in the APA main page to display the detailed view of the
port information.
NOTE:
2. Click Stop LACP/FEC Protocol to display the Stop LACP/FEC Protocol page.
3. Select the Configuration Options you want, if different from the default.
4. Click OK to stop the LACP or FEC protocol. An Operation Successful page appears,
confirming the stopping of the protocol and the updating of the APA configuration.

LACP/FEC Protocol changes across reboots.

Logging messages to the syslog.log file

You can enable the logging of APA and LAN Monitor status messages to the syslog.log file.
The status messages are a subset of the messages APA logs to the nettl log file, but are reworded
for readability and understandability.
For information on configuring APA to log status messages to the /var/adm/syslog/
syslog.log file, see

Examples

This section contains sample status messages that might appear in the syslog.log file. In these
examples, a link is considered UP:
• If its Operation Status (ifOper) is UP (the link can carry network traffic) and
• If the link is part of a link aggregate and it has successfully negotiated via the protocol with
the link partner to become a member of the link aggregate.
A link is considered DOWN:

You can only stop the LACP or FEC protocol on a port that is not in a link aggregate.
