IP Fragmentation (Toggle)
This field allows the user to enable or disable IP fragmentation. The
default setting for this field is ENABLED. If the 6H122-16 will be
bridged to an FDDI ring, IP Fragmentation should be enabled. If IP
Fragmentation is disabled, all FDDI frames that exceed the maximum
Ethernet frame size will be discarded. For details on enabling or disabling
IP Fragmentation refer to Section 5.15.14.
5.15.1 Setting the IP Address
To set the IP address, perform the following steps:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the IP Address field.
2. Enter the IP address into this field using Decimal Dotted Notation
(DDN) format.
For example: 134.141.79.120
3. Press ENTER. If the IP address is a valid format, the cursor returns to
the beginning of the IP Address field. If the entry is not valid, the
Event Message Line displays “INVALID IP ADDRESS OR
FORMAT ENTERED”. Local Management does not alter the current
value and refreshes the IP Address field with the previous value.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command, then press
ENTER. The warning screen shown in Figure 5-19 displays.
NOTE
If the 6C105 chassis has been assigned an IP address, it is not
necessary to assign an IP address to the 6H122-16. All
installed modules have the same IP address as the chassis. If
a separate IP address for the module is desired, proceed as
follows.
