  1. Load network adapter (if required)

    If you are configuring a DEQNA, DESQA, DELQA, DEUNA, DELUA, DEMNA, DEBNI or PMADAA adapter, use the "load" command as shown below. CHARON-VAX 3100/96/98 and 4000/106/108 emulations automatically load SGEC (with the name "eza") and therefore no "load" command is required.

    Example:

    load DELQA/DEQNA NIC
  2. Load "packet_port" or "tap_port" 

    Load "packet_port" or "tap_port" to connect the SGEC, DEQNA, DESQA, DELQA, DEUNA, DELUA, DEMNA, DEBNI or PMADAA adapter to the host hardware network card (or to a virtual network interface).

    Example:

    load packet_port/chnetwrk NDIS interface = "eth0"
    Div
    classpagebreak


  3. Connect the loaded "packet_port" ("tap_port") to the loaded virtual network adapter

    Connect the SGEC, DEQNA, DESQA, DELQA, DEUNA, DELUA, DEMNA, DEBNI or PMADAA adapter to the "packet_port" ("tap_port") by setting the interface name.

    Example

    set NIC interface = NDIS

...

Info

The interface name can be either "(disabled)" for a disabled interface or "<network interface name>"

Examples:

load packet_port/chnetwrk NIC1 interface="(disabled)"

load packet_port/chnetwrk NIC2 interface="ens33"

...

Parameter

rx_fifo_size

TypeNumeric
Value

"rx_fifo_size" sets the receive FIFO size.

The value is specified in Kb and by default is pre-calculated from the connected port’s size of receive queue.

Typically, you do not need to change the "rx_fifo_size" parameter. It is available for extended tuning and bug hunting purposes.

...

Example:

Div
classcommandline

load packet_port/chnetwrk EZA0 interface = "eth0"

set EZA interface = EZA0

set EZA station_address="0C:FE:35:AA:67:3B"

...
