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 the receive queue.

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

Example

Div
classcommandline

load packet_port/chnetwrk EZA0 interface = "connection:Charon"

set EZA interface = EZA0

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

Parameterlegacy_mode
TypeBoolean
Value

If this parameter is set to "true" CHARON-VAX 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-VAX runs in VMware environment for example. In other situations please do not change its default value ("false").

Example:

set pp_1 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-VAX / CHARON-PDP use legacy MAC address change logic, so use of this option is not desirable.

Thus for ESXi networking configuration:

  1. Create the port with e1000 adapter;
  2. Enable the promiscuous traffic;
  3. Do not use "legacy_mode" option in CHARON's configuration file;

Example

Div
classcommandline

load DEQNA/DEQNA XQA

load packet_port/chnetwrk XQA0 interface="connection:Charon"

set XQA interface=XQA0

Info

CHARON 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.
