ExtremeWare 7.5 Command Reference Guide
Commands for Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch
configure port interpacket-gap
configure port <slot:port> interpacket-gap <byte_time>
Description
Configures the Interpacket Gap for a 10 Gigabit port.
Syntax Description
Default
The default value of the byte time is 12.
Usage Guidelines
The standard compliant Interpacket Gap for 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces is 12. Some vendors'
10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces drop packets when packets are transmitted using a value of 12. Thus, by
increasing the Interpacket Gap, packet transmission is slowed and packet loss can be minimized or
prevented. The Interpacket Gap value need not be modified when interconnecting Extreme Networks
switches over 10 Gigabit Ethernet links.
The allowable range for the byte time is 12-1023.
Example
The following command configures Interpacket Gap to 48:
configure port 2:1 interpacket-gap 48
History

This command was added to the Summit “
e
” series of switches in ExtremeWare 7.2e.
Platform Availability
