NetWare DOS Requester Option

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE:

 

Some routers and bridges have been hardcoded to use 576-byte packets. In this case,

 

 

the NetWare DOS Requester can use only 576-byte packets, regardless of this

 

 

parameter.

 

 

 

 

LIP START SIZE=number

 

 

 

 

Specifies the packet size of used by the NetWare DOS Requester when

 

 

starting LIP negotiations.

 

 

Use this parameter to reduce the amount of traffic caused by the negotiation

 

 

process across slow links.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Syntax

lip start size=number

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Default

0 (0=off)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Range

576 to 655535

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Modules

IPXNCP.VLM

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Example

To cut down on network traffic from Large Internet

 

 

 

 

Packets across a WAN link, you would place the following

 

 

 

 

lines in your NET.CFG file:

 

 

 

 

netware dos requester

 

 

 

 

lip start size=3658

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For this parameter to work, also set LARGE INTERNET PACKETS=ON.

 

 

LOAD CONN TABLE LOW=[on off]

 

 

Specifies whether the connection table is loaded in high or conventional

 

 

memory.

 

 

 

 

When using the initial release of NetWare 4.0 network operating system

 

 

utilities, you must set the value of the LOAD CONN TABLE LOW

 

 

parameter to “on.”

 

 

 

 

This loads the connection table low, which increases conventional memory

 

 

requirements required by the initial release of NetWare 4.0 utilities.

 

 

If you are not using the initial release of the NetWare 4.0 utilities, the default

 

 

value (off) gives you better memory performance. The default setting loads

 

 

the connection table in an Upper Memory Block (UMB), if available.
