Port PACE
Priority
Determines if the port detects 3Com’s copyrighted
PACE format as packets pass through the port.
PACE allows a packet’s priority (higher priority
packets move through the switch faster) to be set
at the adapter.
Remote
Fault Detect
Proprietary mechanism to detect remote link
errors on Cajun gigabit ports. The default is
Disabled.
The remote fault detection functionality should be
enabled (on both ends of a Cajun to Cajun link) in
two cases:
• When two Cajun gigabit ports are connected
that do not support auto-negotiation.
• When a Cajun gigabit port that does not support
auto-negotiation is connected to a Cajun gigabit
port that does support auto-negotiation.
