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"

Packet Port

The CHARON-specific "packet_port" interface establishes a connection between an Ethernet adapter in the Linux host system and a network adapter in the virtual VAX system.

...

Parameter

port_pending_tx_number

TypeNumeric
Value

"port_pending_tx_number" parameter sets the number of buffers the port uses to transmit.

The default value is 62.

You may want to increase the "port_pending_tx_number" value if the log file indicates dropped TX packets due to TX queue overflow.

Typically, you do not need to change this parameter.

Example:

set pp_1 port_pending_tx_number=128

.


log

Parameter

log

TypeText string
Value

If this parameter is set to some valid file name or a directory where the log files for each individual session will be stored CHARON logs Recv and Xmit packets at the emulated port layer.

In certain situations enabling this parameter may help to detect loss of packets.

Example

If an existing directory is specified, CHARON automatically enables creation of individual log files, one for each session using the same scheme as used for the generation of the rotating log files. If the "log" parameter is omitted, CHARON does not create log.

In certain situations enabling this parameter may help to detect loss of packets.

Example:

set pp_1 log="pp_1.log"


set pp_1
.log"
log="/charon/logs"


Note

Only existing directory can be used as a value of the "log" parameter.
