Hello,
I have connected a PC runnin Netware 3.12 to a port of the
DECswitch900EF (V1.61). On the FDDI port there is a Novell
Server equipped with a DEFPA interface. When I try to login
from the PC it takes very long for the password to appear.
A program called syscon also takes very long to execute.
On the FDDI port of the bridge I can see many "oversized"
frames.
When I decrease a parameter called receive packet size on the
Novell server to 1500 I can login with no problem and the oversized
frames disappear.
In the readme file there is a reccomendation to have this parameter
at 4500 or above.
Could anyone please shed some light onto this ?

Are you using RAW IPX?, I mean IPX packets in a 802.3 frame
with no 802.2 or Ethernet II encapsulation.
You can enable the feature in the Module Specific Options
Menu from the setup console in most of the latest firmware
versions.

Hello,
no they are not using RAW IXP but Ethernet_II. I had enabled RAW IPX
initially when I didn't know their frame type.
Any more ideas ?

You might want to ask this question in the FDDI notes conference.
The adapters folks responsible for products like the DEFPA
might be able to shed some light on the implications of the
receive packet size using a DEFPA on a Novell server.
