PA-2FE-FX |
2-Port Fast Ethernet 100Base FX Port adapter (fiber) |
Although TR-ISL is not available on a PA-2FE-TX/FX, the port adapter accepts the tr-isl encapsulation command. As this feature is not available on this PA, configuration of it should not be allowed.
No TR-ISL available on Port Adapters (PAs) with i82543 (Livengood) chipset.
A show controller command for following cards shows the chipset used:
PA-2FEISL-TX/FX: 'Hardware is AMD Laguna' !--- TR-ISL fully supported on this one. PA-FE-TX/FX: 'Hardware is DEC21140A' !--- TR-ISL supported with limit of 1500 bytes maximum transmission unit (MTU). PA-2FE-TX/FX: 'Hardware is i82543 (Livengood)' !--- TR-ISL not available.
After configuring TR-ISL on the PA-2FE-TX/FX, no TR-ISL traffic is seen leaving this interface.
Workaround is:
Use the PA-FE-TX/FX adapter
Use the old PA-2FEISL-TX/FX adapter (This option is not advisable; see the note below:)
Note:?The use of the old PA-2FEISL-TX/FX adapter is not recommend because of the following:
Use of the PA-FE-TX/FX adapter for TR-ISL limits the MTU to 1500 bytes. For more information on this subject refer to the Token Ring Inter-Switch Link document.
The PA-2FEISL-TX/FX adapter is at End-Of-Life For more information on this subject refer to the Product Bulletin, No. 1225 document
