Additional Command Line Keywords
checksum=on
this enables basp.lan to offload tcp/udp and ip checksums to the bound nic if supported. this will improve performance if some or all nic in the team support hardware checksums.
example:
a team of two bcm5700 nics with hardware checksums enabled.
load basp.lan frame=ethernet_ii name=b57_1_eii checksum=on
vslot=1
load b57.lan frame=ethernet_ii name=b57_1_eii checksum=on slot=1
load b57.lan frame=ethernet_ii name=b57_2_eii checksum=on slot=2
basp bind basp_1_eii b57_1_eii
basp bind basp_1_eii b57_2_eii
noscreen
disables the menu-driven screen when basp.lan is loaded for the first time.
example:
load basp.lan frame=ethernet_ii name=basp_1_eii vslot=1 noscreen
gvrp
this enables gvrp (garp vlan registration protocol) for the vlan that is loaded. an untagged 802.2 frame type must be loaded in the virtual nic and all bound physical nics for gvrp to take effect. this is necessary because gvrp uses untagged 802.2 frames to advertise vlan memberships. use vlan=0 frame=ethernet_802.2 in the load command to specify untagged 802.2 frame type.
example:
load basp.lan frame=ethernet_ii name=basp_1_v2_eii vslot=1 vlan=2
gvrp
load basp.lan frame=ethernet_802.2 name=basp_1_v2_eii vslot=1
vlan=0
