• NODE. This keyword specifies a locally administered address (LAA) unique to each adapter. Use this
option to provide your own unique node address for the adapter. The node address is a 12-digit
hexadecimal number. The second digit must be one of the following digits: 2, 6, A, E.
o Syntax: NODE=xnxxxxxxxxxx
Where n = 2, 6, A, E
Where x = hexadecimal number
o Default = The adapter's assigned address
• FRAME. This keyword indicates one of four valid frame types the system is transmitting and receiving.
o Syntax: FRAME=n
Where n = Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_802.3, Ethernet_II, Ethernet_SNAP
o Default = Ethernet_802.2
• POLL. This keyword is used to enable polling mode in the driver with interrupt backup. If polling is
enabled, interrupts will be reduced, allowing the processor to spend more time performing other
functions. In polling mode, interrupts will occur only when receive resources have been reduced to
less than half. If polling is not enabled, the driver will perform in traditional interrupt mode.
o Syntax: POLL=n
o Where n = 0 (interrupt mode), 1 (polling mode with interrupt backup)
o Default = 0 (interrupt mode)
NOTE: The POLL parameter is for the N100.LAN, N1000.LAN, and N1000e.LAN drivers.
• SPURIOUS. This keyword is used to reduce the number of spurious interrupts reported by the OS on
the driver interrupt line. This automatically loads for 10, 100, and 1000 adapters.
o Syntax: SPURIOUS=n
Where n = 0 or 1
0—Driver operates in normal mode
1—Driver operates to reduce the number of spurious interrupts
o Default = 1
NOTE: The minimum threshold for acceptable number of spurious interrupts is 200 interrupts
per second, which is the default value of the environmental variable "set display spurious
interrupt alerts threshold."
• RXCHECKSUM. This keyword is used to enable or disable the offload of Receive Packet Checksum
verification to the adapter. This automatically loads for 10/100 adapters.
o Syntax: RXCHECKSUM=n
Where n = 0 or 1
0—Does not offload Rx Checksum verification to the adapter
1—Offloads Rx Checksum verification to the adapter
o Default = 0
NetWare custom statistics
NetWare custom statistics appear when you run monitor NLM and load the LAN driver. One custom
statistic counter is the duplex mode, where 1 = half-duplex and 2 = full-duplex.
