ALTER LIF Command
DATAFORWARDMODE {ADAPTIVE | MANUAL}
select ADAPTIVE to allow a G4SA adapter type to choose the best
DATAFORWARDCOUNT (DFC) and DATAFORWARDTIME (DFT) values
depending on data-traffic. The G4SA automatically updates the DFC and DFT
values whenever the data-traffic profile changes. The DATAFORWARDMODE
ADAPTIVE value is supported for G4SA adapter types only.
Default value is MANUAL.
DATAFORWARDUNIT {MILLISECONDS | MICROSECONDS}
specifies the DFT values in MILLISECONDS or MICROSECONDS;
MICROSECONDS is supported for G4SA adapter types only.
Default value is MILLISECONDS.
DATAFORWARDCOUNT df-count
specifies the maximum number of inbound frames queued before delivery occurs.
df-count is the maximum number of frames queued.
This keyword is not valid when the LIF is being associated with an ATM3SA
ADAPTER. Instead, the keyword is supported on the ALTER PIF command.
Valid values:
df-count is a value in the range of 1 through 50.
Default value: 10 frames if the DATAFORWARDMODE value is MANUAL;
otherwise, DATAFORWARDCOUNT defaults to 15 frames.
DATAFORWARDTIME df-time
specifies the maximum time an inbound frame waits before delivery. df-time is the
number of milliseconds to wait. This keyword is not valid when the LIF is being
associated with an ATM3SA adapter. Instead, the keyword is supported on the
ALTER PIF command. df-time is specified as a time interval in the form ttt, where:
ttt
is the number of milliseconds or microseconds.
Valid values:
df-time is a value in the range of 1 through 200 milliseconds or 1 through
2000000 microseconds when the DATAFORWARDUNIT value is set to
microseconds.
For G4SA adapters using DATAFORWARDUNIT microseconds:
Valid values: a time interval in microseconds
Note. HP recommends setting DATAFORWARDMODE to ADAPTIVE for G4SA adapters.
