<h1 class="topictitle1">Bridges dropping frames</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>A remote bridge discards your frame if it does not support your
|
||
|
|
frame size. Also, the network can discard your frame if it does not support
|
||
|
|
your frame size.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In a token-ring environment, the bridge informs the system
|
||
|
|
that originated the connection of the supported frame sizes. The system then
|
||
|
|
automatically tries to reconnect with that frame size.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you cannot configure the bridge to support your frame size or a larger
|
||
|
|
frame size, adjust the MAXFRAME parameter to a value that is acceptable to
|
||
|
|
the bridge. The system has these MAXFRAME parameters that are shown in order
|
||
|
|
of precedence:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol><li>The source service access point (SSAP) MAXFRAME parameter in the line
|
||
|
|
description.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The MAXFRAME parameter in the line description (except Ethernet line descriptions).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The MAXFRAME parameter in the controller description.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
<p>The SSAP MAXFRAME parameter affects only one device. That is, only that
|
||
|
|
device will use a frame size of SSAP MAXFRAME.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The MAXFRAME parameter that is in the line description affects all devices
|
||
|
|
that use that description.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The MAXFRAME parameter that is in the controller description affects all
|
||
|
|
lines and devices that use that description.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You set the precedence when specifying a MAXFRAME value. If you define
|
||
|
|
a value for the first parameter (SSAP MAXFRAME) and then the second parameter,
|
||
|
|
your system uses the value of the first parameter. To use the value of the
|
||
|
|
second parameter, you should not specify a value for the first parameter.</p>
