Where n = 10 or 100 or 1000
oDefault = The adapter automatically detects network speed.
•NODE. This keyword specifies a locally administered address (LAA) unique to each adapter. Use this option to provide your own unique node address for the adapter. The node address is a
oSyntax: NODE=xnxxxxxxxxxx Where n = 2, 6, A, E
Where x = hexadecimal number
oDefault = The adapter's assigned address
•FRAME. This keyword indicates one of four valid frame types the system is transmitting and receiving.
oSyntax: FRAME=n
Where n = Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_802.3, Ethernet_II, Ethernet_SNAP
oDefault = Ethernet_802.2
•POLL. This keyword is used to enable polling mode in the driver with interrupt backup. If polling is enabled, interrupts will be reduced, allowing the processor to spend more time performing other functions. In polling mode, interrupts will occur only when receive resources have been reduced to less than half. If polling is not enabled, the driver will perform in traditional interrupt mode.
oSyntax: POLL=n
oWhere n = 0 (interrupt mode), 1 (polling mode with interrupt backup)
oDefault = 0 (interrupt mode)
NOTE: The POLL parameter is for the N100.LAN, N1000.LAN, and N1000e.LAN drivers.
•SPURIOUS. This keyword is used to reduce the number of spurious interrupts reported by the OS on the driver interrupt line. This automatically loads for 10, 100, and 1000 adapters.
oSyntax: SPURIOUS=n Where n = 0 or 1
oDefault = 1
NOTE: The minimum threshold for acceptable number of spurious interrupts is 200 interrupts per second, which is the default value of the environmental variable "set display spurious interrupt alerts threshold."
•RXCHECKSUM. This keyword is used to enable or disable the offload of Receive Packet Checksum verification to the adapter. This automatically loads for 10/100 adapters.
o Syntax: RXCHECKSUM=n
Where n = 0 or 1
Default = 0
