Config Port Interpacket-Gap - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare Command Reference Manual

config port interpacket-gap

config port interpacket-gap
config port <slot:port> interpacket-gap <byte_time>
Description
Configures the Interpacket Gap for a 10 Gigabit port.
Syntax Description
byte_time Specifies the Interpacket Gap byte time.
Default
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.
Example
The following command configures Interpacket Gap to 48:
config port 2:1 interpacket-gap 48
History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare 7.0.0.
Platform Availability
This command is available on all platforms that support 10 Gigabit ports.
