4 Known problems and limitations

The following problems are known to exist in version B.11.31.1111:

• Using ncweb to change number of receive queues causes an error message.

Severity: Medium

When you use the ncweb or SMH interface to change the number of receive queues, an error

message appears.

Workaround: Use nwmgr instead of ncweb to change number of the queues. The command

syntax is:

nwmgr -s -A drv_mq=<new#> -c lan<instance>

where

<new#> The number of queues that you want to enable.

<instance> Instance number of the LAN interface; for example, lan1.
