<h1 class="topictitle1">Adjust your LAN-frame size</h1>
<div><div class="section"> <p>Ethernet networks break data up into many little chunks called
frames. These frames are sent individually across the network and reconstructed
by the receiving computer. Changing the size of the frames can alter the behavior
of the network. Changing the frame size is possible for both TCP/IP over Ethernet
networks and SNA over Ethernet networks. </p>
<p>Your frame size might need
adjusting if the remote bridge drops your frames. For more information about
remote bridges dropping frames, see Remote bridges dropping frames.</p>
<p>To
change your frame size do the following:</p>
</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand" id="rzajyadjustforlanbridgeframesz__new_frame_size_step"><a name="rzajyadjustforlanbridgeframesz__new_frame_size_step"><!-- --></a><span>Determine the new frame size.</span> If
you do not know what your frame size should be, you might find that the frame
size is contained within the QSYSOPR message queue in message CPF 5908. For
information on viewing QSYSOPR messages, see View QSYSOPR or other message
queues.</li>
<li class="stepexpand" id="rzajyadjustforlanbridgeframesz__max_frame_step"><a name="rzajyadjustforlanbridgeframesz__max_frame_step"><!-- --></a><span>Determine which configuration object and MAXFRAME
parameter to change. See <a href="rzajybridgesdroppingframes.htm#rzajybridgesdroppingframes">Remote bridges dropping frames</a> for
information on which configuration object to change.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>To change the parameter, do one of the following:</span><ul><li>Change the line description using the <a href="../cl/chglineth.htm">CHGLINETH</a> CL command.</li>
<li>Change the controller description. Type <kbd class="userinput">GO CMDCTL</kbd> and
press <kbd class="userinput">Enter</kbd> to display a list of commands. Select the
appropriate command for your controller type.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Press <kbd class="userinput">F9</kbd> to show all parameters.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Locate the MAXFRAME parameter that you chose in step <a href="#rzajyadjustforlanbridgeframesz__max_frame_step">2</a>.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Specify the value that you found in step <a href="#rzajyadjustforlanbridgeframesz__new_frame_size_step">1</a>.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Press <kbd class="userinput">Enter</kbd> to save your changes
and exit the command.</span></li>
