The interface name can be either "(disabled)" for a disabled interface or "connection:<Windows network interface name>" Examples: load packet_port/chnetwrk NIC1 interface="(disabled)"
load packet_port/chnetwrk

The AlphaServer DS15 and DS25 contain two built-in PCI Ethernet adapters. Models and names (EI* or EW*) of them depend on configuration addon. Choose one of the two or none, but not both. The first instantiates onboard network interfaces as EIA and EWA. While the second - EWA and EWB (enabled by default for backward compatibility) Example:
#include ds25-onboard-nics.icfg
include ds25-onboard-nics-ew.icfg |

Specification of "chnetwrk" is not mandatory, but it is still used for compatibility |

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 |
...
| Parameter | log_flush_period |
|---|
| Type | Numeric |
|---|
| Value | Defines a period of flushing log to disk. Default period is 60 seconds (it means that every manite log file is flushed to disk) Examples: set NDIS log_flush_period=30

legacy_mode
| Parameter | legacy_mode |
|---|
| Type | Boolean |
|---|
| Value | If this parameter is set to "true" CHARON VM tries to use very first implementation of "packet_port" having certain restrictions such as inability to automatically change MAC address on given interface etc. This setting may be needed if CHARON VM runs in VMware environment for example and you do not want to allow promiscuous mode. In other situations please do not change its default value ("false"). Example: set NDIS legacy_mode=true |
| Info |
|---|
This parameter is required only if you do not want to allow promiscuous traffic for the VMware adapter/port. In this mode, CHARON VM uses legacy MAC address change logic, so use of this option is not desirable. Thus for ESXi networking configuration: - Create the port;
- Enable the promiscuous traffic;
- Do not use legacy_mode option in Charon's configuration file
|
| Info |
|---|
TruCluster alias vMAC option may not operate correctly in combination with "legacy_mode=true" when host is VMware virtual machine. This is because vMAC option sets adapter to promiscuous mode which does not seem operating correctly on VMware adapters. |

CHARON-AXP supports VLAN adapters. If for some reasons you are going to use them, proceed with their installation and configuration according to the network adapter's vendor's User's Guide and then use the resulting VLAN interface the same way as the regular network interface. |
