Setting the interface connection distance

When two directly connected interfaces communicate, they use the buffer area to buffer the received data. A longer interface connection distance requires a greater buffer area.

Perform this task to modify the buffer area size by setting the interface connection distance.

To set the interface connection distance:

Step

Command

Remarks

1. Enter system view.

N/A

3. Set the interface connection distance.

port connection-distance { 300 | 10000 | 20000 | 40000 }

By default, the interface connection distance is 10000 meters.
