The Interpret 802.3 length for frames > 64 bytes field toggles between the
following options:
• [DISABLED] (default setting)
• [ENABLED]
If you retain the default setting of [DISABLED], the HSIM-F6 only
examines 802.3 frames that are the Ethernet minimum 64 bytes in length.
This allows for optimal switching performance, as the HSIM-F6 assumes
all frames over 64 bytes in length contain no padding.
If this field is set to [ENABLED] the HSIM-F6 examines ALL 802.3
frame length fields to determine whether any of the frames contain
padding. In this setting, the HSIM-F6 removes unnecessary padding from
any 802.3 frame, regardless of the size. Refer to
Section 3.10.4 for
information on when to set this field to [ENABLED]. Section 3.10.5
describes how to perform this task.
