LARGE INTERNET PACKETS=[on off]

Sets the Large Internet Packet (LIP) packet size above the default of 576 bytes.

In the past, NetWare communicated across routers and bridges with a 576- byte maximum packet size. However, Ethernet and token ring are capable of using larger packets for communication.

When the value for this parameter is set to “on,” the maximum packet size negotiated between the NetWare server and the client workstation is used, even across routers and bridges.

Syntax

large internet packets=[on off]

 

 

Default

on

 

 

Modules

IPXNCP.VLM, NWP.VLM

 

 

Example

To minimize the packet size used between the NetWare

 

server and client workstation, you would place the

 

following lines in your NET.CFG file:

 

netware dos requester

 

large internet packet=off
