oddLengthPadding
For CoreBuilder 9000: Applies to Layer 3 switching modules only.
Sets the compatibility mode for older network interface cards (NICs). This
mode enables an interface to pad IPX packets that have an odd number
of bytes. (Older NICs discard IPX packets that have an odd number of
bytes.)

Important Considerations
■
This feature supports 10 MB switching modules only.
■
If you use this feature, be careful to select only those interfaces that
require odd-length padding. Enabling this feature for every interface
slows network performance.
