HP UX Internet and Networking Software Range, Syntax, Default, Example, MAX STACKS number, MEMPOOL number [k]

NET.CFG Options Reference

Link Support Option

NOTE:Each LAN driver resource or frame type requires approximately 200 bytes of memory.

MAX STACKS number

Configures the maximum number of logical protocol stack IDs the

LSL.COM file can manage.

Each protocol stack can use more than one stack ID resources.

If a protocol stack fails to load because of an out-of-resource condition, increase the value for this option.

The amount of resident memory the LSL.COM file consumes increases with larger MAX STACKS values and decreases with smaller values. Thus, you can conserve some memory by reducing the value to the actual number of stack IDs used by a particular system.

Syntax	max stacks number
Default	4
Range	1 to 16
Example	To specify that three logical protocol stack IDs can be
	loaded, you would place the following lines in your
	NET.CFG file:
	link support
	max stacks 3

MEMPOOL number [k]

Configures the size of the memory pool that the LSL program maintains for allocating buffers for some protocols.

Thus, the notation means to multiply by 1024.
