Enable or disable IP Fragmentation. The default setting for this field is
ENABLED.
If the SmartSwitch device is to be bridged to an FDDI ring using an
HSIM-F6, IP Fragmentation should be enabled. If IP Fragmentation is
disabled, all FDDI frames that exceed the maximum Ethernet frame
size are discarded if they are destined for a small frame size port, such
as Ethernet, WAN, Gigabit Ethernet, and ATM (at the time of this

be forwarded out the ports if necessary. Check the release notes for
changes. For details on enabling IP Fragmentation, refer to
