Buffer Size. This parameter specifies the size of each receive buffer. The
buffer size multiplied by the number of buffers must be greater than or equal
to the MTU size. Incoming packets cannot be broken into more than
23 buffers. Therefore, the buffer size multiplied by 23 must be at least as
large as the MTU size. QLogic recommends a default value of 4096.
Header Split Size. This parameter accounts for packets with split headers
and data. The parameter value specifies the number of bytes at the
beginning of an incoming packet that must be isolated in the first receive
buffer. A value of 0 indicates that the packet header and data are not split.
QLogic recommends a default value of 0.
Adapter Node Name. This parameter specifies the world wide name (node
name) of the QLA23xx HBA to use for this IP connection. The parameter is
required on systems with more than one QLA23xx HBA. You can use
Fast!UTIL to determine the node names for all QLA22xx/QLA23xx HBAs in
the system (see the Fast!UTIL section that corresponds to your QLA23xx
HBA).
Perform the following steps to make QL2x00IP NDIS driver parameter and IP
address modifications:
1. Click Start, point to Settings, point to Control Panel, and double-click the
Network and Dial-Up Connections icon.
2. Right-click the Local Area Connection icon for the QLA23xx HBA, then
click Properties.
NOTE: If your system has multiple Local Area Connection icons, select the
connection that uses the QLA23xx HBA that you are modifying.
3. In the Local Area Connection n Properties dialog box, select Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP).
4. In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, select Use the
following IP address, then click Properties.
5. Type an IP address and subnet mask for the QLA23xx HBA. Each IP
address must be unique and all QLA22xx/QLA23xx HBAs must use the
same subnet mask. For example:
Adapter 1
IP address: 10.0.0.1
Subnet mask:255.255.0.0
Adapter 2
IP address: 10.0.0.2
Subnet mask:255.255.0.0
6. Click OK.
7. In the Local Area Connection n Properties dialog box, click Configure.
