interface | Text String | Name of the corresponding instance of the "packet_port" component | |||||||||||||||
| station_address | Text String | The "station_address" provides the ability to configure the adapter’s permanent address. By default the adapter’s permanent address is read from the host system’s NIC. Format:
or
Example:
| |||||||||||||||
rx_fifo_size | Numeric | "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 the receive queue. Typically, you do not need to change the "rx_fifo_size" parameter. It is available for extended tuning and debugging purposes. | |||||||||||||||
| adapter_mode | Text String | Assigns the link speed and the duplex settings of the virtual network adapter (except for DE602/DE602AA - see below). The values are:
Example:
|
...
The EIx0_MODE variable name is case insensitive, while its values are case sensitive! This is feature of OpenVMS EIDRIVER.
The values are:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| "Auto" | Auto-negotiate (default) |
| "Twisted" | 10Mbps half duplex |
| "Full" | 10Mbps full duplex |
| "Fast" | 100Mbps half duplex |
| "FastFD" | 100Mbps full duplex |
...
| Warning |
|---|
Please note that EIx0_MODE environment variable controls only the setting which the emulated network adapter reports to the guest operating system running on CHARON. It does not change any settings of the host adapter mapped to the virtual adapter! In case if the settings of the host adapter have to be changed please refer to the corresponding host Operating System User's Guide for details on how to do it. In case if "Auto" value is set CHARON collects the settings from the mapped host network adapter directly, assuming that all speeds above 100Mbps are represented as 100Mbps (maximum value). The resulting duplex setting corresponds to the duplex setting of the mapped host network adapter. |
