Field

Description

input errors

This information is used by Brocade customer support.

in segments

The number of TCP segments received by the device.

out segments

The number of TCP segments sent by the device.

retransmission

The number of segments that this device retransmitted because the
retransmission timer for the segment had expired before the device at the other
end of the connection had acknowledged receipt of the segment.

Disabling IP checksum check

The disable-hw-ip-checksum-check command traps a packet with bad checksum to the CPU.
Previously, if the packet processor detected a packet with, for example, the checksum 0xFFFF, it would
treat it as a bad checksum even if it was correct and it would drop the packet. Now, the command
disable-hw-ip-checksum-check traps the packet at the CPU and if the checksum is correct, it
forwards the packet.

To set disable hardware ip checksum check for all ports, enter the following command.

device# disable-hw-ip-checksum-check

disable-ip-header-check set for all ports

To clear disable hardware ip checksum check on all ports, enter the following command.

device# no disable-hw-ip-checksum-check ethernet 13

disable-hw-ip-checksum-check cleared for ports the 13 to 24

To set disable hardware ip checksum check on for example, port range 0-12, enter the following
command.

device# disable-hw-ip-checksum-check ethernet 2

disable-ip-header-check set for ports ethe 1 to 12

To set disable hardware ip checksum check on, for example, port range 13-24, enter the following
command.

device# disable-hw-ip-checksum-check ethernet 22

disable-ip-header-check set for ports ethe 13 to 24

To clear disable hardware ip checksum check on, for example, port range 13-24, enter the following
command.

device# no disable-hw-ip-checksum-check ethernet 13

disable-hw-ip-checksum-check cleared for ports the 13 to 24

NOTE
The port range could be any consecutive range, it may not necessarily be a decimal number.

Syntax: [no] disable-hw-ip-checksum-check ethernet portnum
