mem
It is possible to split the DAG card's allocated memory between the receive and transmit stream buffers
to suit specific requirements. Where a DAG card does not support transmit, set the transmit stream
buffers to 0 (zero). The split is displayed as a ratio as shown below:
mem=X:Y
where:
X
is the memory allocated in MB to the
rx
stream
Y
is the memory allocated in MB to the
tx
stream. Only applicable if the DAG card supports
transmit.
If there are multiple
rx
or
tx
streams memory can be allocated to each stream:
mem=X:Y:X:Y:X:Y
Buffer_size
(page 26) and
rx and tx Streams
(page 31) are related to
mem
.
Example
You can split 128MB of memory evenly between the
tx
and
rx
streams using:
dagconfig –d0 mem=64:64
Note:
You cannot change the stream memory allocations while packet capture or transmission is in progress.
For information on calculating the required stream buffer size, see
Guidance for stream buffer sizing
(page 71).
nic/nonic
Modes: 10G Ethernet only.
Note:
This token operates very differently from the previous nic/nonic token.
In
nic
mode, the DAG card must have a receive signal present to transmit packets. The DAG card
transmits the ‘Remote Fault’ ordered set when no signal is present on its receiver (compliant mode).
In
nonic
mode this behavior is disabled, allowing the DAG card to transmit packets without having a
receive signal present (non compliant mode).
Examples
dagconfig nic
dagconfig nonic
Note:
For 1G Ethernet use
auto_neg / noauto_neg
(page 26)
nodelay
Applicable to TR-TERF. Disables Relative Timed Release mode (No Delay Mode).
In
No Delay Mode
all packets are transmitted at the maximum rate permitted by the line interface, using
only minimum gaps between packets.
