XenServer API extensions For example, to enable TX checksumming on a virtual NIC via the xe CLI: xe vif-param-set uuid= other-config:ethtool-tx="on" or: xe vif-param-set uuid= other-config:ethtool-tx="true" To set the duplex setting on a physical NIC to half duplex via the xe CLI: xe vif-param-set uuid= other-config:ethtool-duplex="half" 5.5.2. Miscellaneous settings You can also set a VIF or PIF to enable promiscuous mode via the promiscuous key. For example, to enable promiscuous mode on a physical NIC via the xe CLI: xe pif-param-set uuid= other-config:promiscuous="on" or: xe pif-param-set uuid= other-config:promiscuous="true" The VIF and PIF objects have a MTU parameter that is read-only and provide the current setting of the maximum transmission unit for the interface. You can override the default maximum transmission unit of a physical or virtual NIC with the mtu key via the other-config map parameter. For example, to reset the MTU on a virtual NIC to use jumbo frames via the xe CLI: xe vif-param-set uuid= other-config:mtu=9000 Note that changing the MTU of underlying interfaces is an advanced and experimental feature, and may lead to unexpected side-effects if you have varying MTUs across NICs in a single resource pool. 5.6. Internationalization for SR names The SRs created at install time now have an other_config key indicating how their names may be internationalized. other_config["i18n-key"] may be one of • local-hotplug-cd • local-hotplug-disk 29

For example, to enable TX checksumming on a virtual NIC via the xe CLI:
xe vif-param-set uuid=<VIF UUID> other-config:ethtool-tx="on"
or:
xe vif-param-set uuid=<VIF UUID> other-config:ethtool-tx="true"
To set the duplex setting on a physical NIC to half duplex via the xe CLI:
xe vif-param-set uuid=<VIF UUID> other-config:ethtool-duplex="half"
5.5.2. Miscellaneous settings
You can also set a VIF or PIF to enable promiscuous mode via the
promiscuous
key. For example, to
enable promiscuous mode on a physical NIC via the xe CLI:
xe pif-param-set uuid=<PIF UUID> other-config:promiscuous="on"
or:
xe pif-param-set uuid=<PIF UUID> other-config:promiscuous="true"
The VIF and PIF objects have a
MTU
parameter that is read-only and provide the current setting of the
maximum transmission unit for the interface. You can override the default maximum transmission unit of a
physical or virtual NIC with the
mtu
key via the
other-config
map parameter. For example, to reset the
MTU on a virtual NIC to use jumbo frames via the xe CLI:
xe vif-param-set uuid=<VIF UUID> other-config:mtu=9000
Note that changing the MTU of underlying interfaces is an advanced and experimental feature, and may
lead to unexpected side-effects if you have varying MTUs across NICs in a single resource pool.
5.6. Internationalization for SR names
The SRs created at install time now have an
other_config
key indicating how their names may be in-
ternationalized.
other_config["i18n-key"]
may be one of
•
local-hotplug-cd
•
local-hotplug-disk
