Commands for Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch

configure port interpacket-gap

configure port <slot:port> interpacket-gap <byte_time>

Configures the Interpacket Gap for a 10 Gigabit port.

Syntax Description

Specifies the Interpacket Gap byte time.

The default value of the byte time is 12.

Usage Guidelines

The standard compliant Interpacket Gap for 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces is 12. Some vendors'

10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces drop packets when packets are transmitted using a value of 12. Thus, by

increasing the Interpacket Gap, packet transmission is slowed and packet loss can be minimized or

prevented. The Interpacket Gap value need not be modified when interconnecting Extreme Networks

switches over 10 Gigabit Ethernet links.

The allowable range for the byte time is 12-1023.

The following command configures Interpacket Gap to 48:

configure port 2:1 interpacket-gap 48

This command was first available in ExtremeWare 7.0.0.

Platform Availability

This command is available on all platforms that support 10 Gigabit ports.
