and “Allocating Global/Local Memory on BayRS Routers” on page 30.
Setting Buffer Sizes on Specified Routers
You can set buffer sizes on the following BayRS routers by setting a MIB variable
using the Technician Interface:
• BN/ARE
• Non-Token-Ring ARN Routers
By default, ARN routers (without token ring modules installed) initialize with a
buffer size of 1824 bytes, which prevents these routers from accepting packets
larger than 1824 bytes. To allow the non-token-ring ARN router to accept larger
packets, you can increase the buffer size by setting the MIB variable
wfKernCfgParamEntry.wfKernCfgParamBufSize to 4800. You can also increase
the buffer size for the BN/ARE using this procedure.
For complete instructions on using the Technician Interface to set MIB variables,
see Using Technician Interface Software.
