ifconfig & PSEG

[Breslau]

Hey,

anyone know what the PSEG flag is on a network interface? where it is set, and how to turn it off and on?

en0: flags=4e080863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,
MULTICAST,GROUPRT,64BIT,PSEG>

also, any negative implications for allowing SP private enet traffic to flow over a LAN rather than having it physically isolated?

thanks!

Hmmm Strange one, like you I find no mention of PSEG, but would guess physical segment.

Your SP private ethernet can go over the regular LAN, but if there is a lot of traffic your SP ethernet would be slower, of course.

Apparently the PSEG flag support is dependant on the card. i did an f6 on the smit command above and got:

chdev -l 'ent0' -a large_send='yes'

still not exactly sure of the meaning, but there it is...
