Translate all Novell FDDI 802.2 Frames to

This ﬁeld allows the user to translate all Novell FDDI 802.2 frames to a

speciﬁc Ethernet frame type. The Ethernet frame types that are available

are as follows:

• Ethernet II

• Ethernet SNAP

• Ethernet 802.3

• Ethernet 802.2

The default setting for the Novell FDDI 802.2 ﬁeld is Ethernet 802.2.

Translate all Novell FDDI MAC Frames to

This ﬁeld allows the user to translate all Novell FDDI MAC frames to a

speciﬁc Ethernet frame type. The Ethernet frame types that are available

are as follows:

• Ethernet II

• Ethernet SNAP

• Ethernet 802.3

• Ethernet 802.2

The default setting for the Novell FDDI MAC ﬁeld is Ethernet 802.2.

The Interpret 802.3 Length for Frames > 64 Bytes

This ﬁeld allows the user to enable the HSIM-F6 to examine the length

ﬁeld of an 802.3 Ethernet frame to determine if the sending device has

added padding to a frame that contains more than the Ethernet minimum

of 64 bytes. If padding has been added, the HSIM-F6 removes any

padding before sending the frame onto the FDDI ring.

NOTE The HSIM-F6 automatically checks for padding all Ethernet

frames that are the minimum 64 bytes in length.
