Parameter

Definition

 

 

Port PACE

Determines if the port detects 3Com’s copyrighted

Priority

PACE format as packets pass through the port.

 

PACE allows a packet’s priority (higher priority

 

packets move through the switch faster) to be set

 

at the adapter.

 

 

Remote

Proprietary mechanism to detect remote link

Fault Detect

errors on Cajun gigabit ports. The default is

 

Disabled.

 

The remote fault detection functionality should be

 

enabled (on both ends of a Cajun to Cajun link) in

 

two cases:

 

• When two Cajun gigabit ports are connected

 

that do not support auto-negotiation.

 

• When a Cajun gigabit port that does not support

 

auto-negotiation is connected to a Cajun gigabit

 

port that does support auto-negotiation.
