matches Novell's Ethernet_II frame type.
TYPE_II
matches Novell's Ethernet_802.3 frame type.
RAW
matches Novell's Ethernet_802.2 or Token-Ring frame type.
LLC
matches Novell's Ethernet_SNAP or Token-Ring_SNAP frame type.
SNAP
is the maximum frame size (in bytes) that can be transmitted or received over the IPX
interface. Any frames larger than the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) will be dis-
carded. If the MTU is less than the size of a minimal datagram, the value will auto-
matically change to the minimal datagram size.
identifies the local interface to the Novell network.
prioritizes this subscriber for intra-nodal traffic; the higher the number, the higher the
priority. (This priority has no effect on traffic exiting a node.)
A priority is also configured in Node Defaults, as well as for each logical port, SNA
PU, LLC2 host, Bridge Port/LLC2 Interface, IP interface, SVC Subscriber, and PVC
connection. The device processor in the node uses these priorities to help determine
the order in which it will process protocols.
When configuring priorities, be careful to consider the types of
traffic being routed on other connections in the node.
assigns the IPX interface to one of sixteen groups whose parameters regulate band-
width usage. See "Configuring Bandwidth Allocation Groups" on page 6-6.
denables or disables the IPX interface's ability to handle Novell Diagnostic packets. If
enabled, IPX will forward or respond to a diagnostic packet depending on to whom it
is addressed. If disabled, IPX will ignore the packet.
determines whether Novell-encapsulated NetBIOS frames received on the interface
will be processed. If disabled, NetBIOS frames will be discarded.
is the maximum number of hops allowed for routing a Novell-encapsulated NetBIOS
frame. (Each router in a packet's path to the destination network is one hop.) Frames
exceeding this value will be discarded.
