sys_attrs_dli(5)
NAME
  sys_attrs_dli - dli subsystem attributes

DESCRIPTION
  This reference page lists and describes attributes for the Data Link
  Interface (dli) kernel subsystem. Refer to the sys_attrs(5) reference page
  for an introduction to the topic of kernel subsystem attributes.

  max_ifq_length
      The number of received packets that are queued to DLI.

      Default value: 512 (packets)

      Minimum value: 0

      Maximum value: 1024

      If many packets are dropped, you may want to increase the value.

  mop_sysid
      A value that enables (1) or disables (0) MOP_SYSID messages, which are
      sent out periodically to keep bridges informed about the system's
      location on the network.

      In some cases, these messages might be misinterpreted by legacy
      realtime devices that are configured to respond to broadcast messages.
      If this happens, you can disable the messages to resolve the problem.

      Default value: 1 (enabled)

  must_be_root
      A value that enables (1) or disables (0) the requirement that the user
      of the raw socket interface must be root. Setting this attribute to 0
      allows any user to use the raw socket interface to DLI.

      DECnet and STREAMS protocol stacks use a DLI-provided raw interface to
      the data link.  DLI also provides a raw socket interface.

      Default value: 1 (enabled)

      In a TruCluster environment, the value of this attribute must be the
      same for all member systems.
