Determining the Value for the CLAWIP Parameter

The number of IP entries is defined using the CLAWIP parameter of the SNAKEY macro. Like the CLAWFD value, increasing the CLAWIP value does not significantly raise the amount of main storage needed. In choosing a CLAWIP value for a particular processor, use the following:

CLAWIP = Total number of IP addresses for each TCP/IP offload device
         attached to a processor

Maximum Value for the IP Parameter

The maximum value that you can define for the IP parameter is:

The sum of 81 + 81 + ...
up to 84 TCP/IP offload devices attached to processor = 6804

where:

Example: For example, if you are attaching TCP/IP offload device 1 with 3 IP addresses and TCP/IP offload device 2 with 2 IP addresses to processor B, set CLAWIP to 5 for processor B.

3 + 2 = 5
