lg_frame_admin
Description: Enables the changing of large frame support on a per port basis. This enables
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.
Example: -> 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.
