Built-in Commands

lg_frame_admin

Description: Enables large frame support on a per port basis. allowing the user to determine if large frames can be forwarded out a particular port.

Syntax: lg_frame_admin [ set ] [ LARGE FRAG_IF_POSS SMALL AUTO ] [ PORT ALL_BPLANE ALL_FDDI ]

lg_frame_admin [ status ] [ port # ]

Options: set – Sets the size of transmitted frames for a port or a group of ports.

status – Causes the display of the current settings for one port or a group of ports (e.g., 1– 15).

LARGE – Sets the port to allow all valid large frames to be transmitted out the port.

FRAG_IF_POSS – This is a special setting. Sets the port, so that all large IP frames that can be fragmented will be fragmented before being transmitted out the port. If the large frame cannot be fragmented, then it will be transmitted out the port as a large frame.

SMALL – Sets the port so that frames will be transmitted as either fragmented (if possible), or dropped if they cannot be fragmented.

AUTO – Same as SMALL.

PORT – Enables the mib II port number to change the settings.

ALL_BPLANE – Causes all the backplane ports to have the same setting.

ALL_FDDI – Causes all FDDI HSIMs to have the same setting.

NOTE: Only backplane and FDDI HSIMs can be configured beyond the default settings.

Examples:	->	lg_frame_admin	set FRAG_IF_POSS all_bplane
	The Status for large interfaces has been changed to
	FRAG_IF_POSS on all BACK			PLANE interfaces.
	->	lg_frame_admin	status	19

Large frame port status is FRAG_IF_POSSAUTO on Port 19.
