It is best to allow for autonegotiation of the card and switch by not setting this keyword or the speed keyword. Only use this keyword if the speed keyword is set to something other than AUTO.

Parameter
Options
Description
TxDescriptors =
Default = 200
Recommended Min = 100
Max = 512
Min = 1 when
used with DOS
Client32 and when
Keywrod P3-1 or
2.
Pre-allocates ECB resources on the adapter for
transmitting packets.
RxFlow =
Default = OFF
Selections are: ON, OFF
Allows enabling/disabling of RxFlow control.
TxFlow =
Default = OFF
Selections are: ON, OFF
Allows enabling/disabling of TxFlow control.
Slot = n
Identifies the slot number for the specific
adapter currently being configured. This
parameter is not necessary if only a single
adapter is installed.
Speed = n
If link negotiation has been disabled, specifies
port speed to be either Auto, 10HD or 10FD,
100HD or 100FD.
Jumbo =
Set maximum physical receive
packet Size = 18000 in the
STARTUP.NCF. Choices are
Jumbo = 1514–9000. This
keyword is only supported on
NetWare 6.x.
Enables/disables Jumbo Frame support. When
enabled, jumbo packets of up to 9000 bytes
are supported. Not supported on NC1020
adapters.
Link=
Default=FORCE
Selections are: AUTO, FORCE
Only used to allow the adapter to negotiate a
specific or forced line speed with a switch that
is not forced, but instead setup for auto-
negotiation. It is best to allow for auto-
negotiation of the card and switch by not
setting this keyword or the speed keyword.
Only use this keyword if the speed keyword is
set to something other than AUTO.
RxTicks=
Default = 360
Min = 0, disabled
Max = 5000000, 5 seconds
Units are in micro seconds
Enables the use of batching receives within a
specific time period.
TXPacketsPer
Default = 64
Min = 0, disabled
Max = 100
Enables the use of batching transmits to a
specific amount of packets.
NOTE:
With Jumbo Frames, the first frame must be Ethernet_ii.
Post installation
After NetWare 6.x has been successfully installed, set the minimum packet receive buffers parameter in
the startup.ncf file to 1500 for each adapter in the system. Set the maximum packet receive buffers to
