Select MAC [1]:
MAC 1 - Enter new value [655]:
The NotCopiedThreshold attribute determines when a MAC condition report
is generated because too many frames could not be copied. Not copied
frames occur when there is no buffer space available in the station (which
indicates that there is congestion in the station).
SMT monitors the ratio of frames not copied to all frames transmitted within
a certain period of time. The NotCopiedThreshold determines at what
percentage the frames not copied are significant enough to report to
network management. The threshold value is expressed in a percentage
based on 65536 (or 100%). For example, to set the threshold at 1%, the
value would be 655 (the system default). The lower you set the percentage,
the more likely SMT will report a problem.
To set the NotCopiedThreshold:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
fddi mac NotCopiedThreshold
You are prompted for a slot related to the MAC.
