Any other special or non-generic installation instructions should be described below as special instructions. Special Install Instructions: ----------------------------- After the patch installation is complete, do the following steps to make sure that the system is running at its optimum performance. 1. cd /etc/opt/SUNWipx 2. vi ipxtab 3. enter the size of the largest packet that PPS sends to other hosts. Note that this applies only to SPX-I connections, ie, not to SPX-II, which is the newer version of SPX. The default value is 576 bytes, but you can set this to a larger value to get better performance. For example, the maximum value for Ethernet would be 1500. The syntax for the spxmaxpacket is: spxmaxpacket number 4. reboot the machine to resync all drivers.
