time_mode 

Applicable to TR-TERF. 

Sets the time release mode.  

nodelay 

sends packets out with no delay.  Shows as 

no_time_mode

.  

relative 

mode sends out packets in the same time spacing as they were received. 

See also 

relative

 (page 30), 

nodelay

 (page 29)

Example 

dagconfig nodelay 

dagconfig relative 

 

tx_crc/notx_crc 

Modes: Ethernet, WAN only. 

Enables the crc(fcs) in the transmitted packets CRC(FCS). 

Example 

dagconfig tx_crc 

dagconfig notx_crc 

 

txonly 

Configures the memory hole to transmit only. 

Example 

dagconfig txonly 

Notes:

 

 

Only displayed if the DAG card supports transmit (i.e. has a TERF image).  

 

This option is only applicable on firmware images containing TX. 

 

txrxerror/notxrxerror 

Indicates how to process packets that are transmitted with an 

RX error

 

flag.  Packets are either 

discarded 

(notxrxerror) on 

or transmitted 

(txrxerror).

 

Note:

 

Only displayed if the DAG card supports transmit (i.e. has a terf image).  

Example 

dagconfig txrxerror 

dagconfig notxrxerror 

 

wan 

Set the DAG card into WAN receive mode. 

Example 

dagconfig wan 

 

Version information 

Details the following information about the connected DAG card: 

 

Firmware image programmed in the FPGA. 

 

The DAG card serial number. 

 

The MAC address(s) of the DAG card's ports (Ethernet cards only).
