In this chapter

This chapter lists parameters and parameter values that were supported in the Green Bay 2 release but that are not supported for 4GA SmartNICs in the Link™ Capture Software 11.6 release. See DN-0449 for a complete list of ntservice.ini parameters in Link™ Capture Software 11.6.

Not supported parameters

These ntservice.ini parameters are not supported for 4GA SmartNICs in the Link™ Capture Software 11.6 release (see DN-0449):

HostBufferHandlerAffinity
PtpMasterModeAllowed
TimestampInjectOffset
TimeSyncTimeJumpThreshold
ConnectorInPTPClockClass
ConnectorInPTPClockAccuracy
ConnectorInPTPClockTimeSource
OSTimePTPClockClass
OSTimePTPClockAccuracy
OSTimePTPClockTimeSource
OSTimePTPClockTimeSource
TxTiming
IfgMode

Note: SofLinkSpeed is not supported for NT40E3-4-PTP.

If a parameter that is not supported for 4GA SmartNICs in Link™ Capture Software 11.6 is used for such a SmartNIC in an ntservice.ini file, the file is accepted but a warning states that the parameter is ignored.

Not supported parameter values

These ntservice.ini parameter values are not supported for 4GA SmartNICs in the Link™ Capture Software 11.6 release (see DN-0449):

Profile: Inline, CaptureReplay, TrafficGen
AdapterType: NT4E, NT20E, NT4E_STD, NTPORT4E, NT20E2, NT40E2_1, NT40E2_4, NT4E2_BP, NT4E2_PTP, NT20E2_PTP
PacketDescriptor: Ext7, Ext8
TimestampFormat: NATIVE, NATIVE_NDIS
TimeSyncConnectorExt1: NttsIn, NttsOut
Note: These values can be used for backwards compatibility, but they are not fully supported.
PtpProfile: Power
TimeSyncClockAdjustmentMode: 1

Note: The SOF value of the TimestampMethod parameter is not supported for NT40E3-4-PTP.

Note:

If a parameter value that is not supported for 4GA SmartNICs in Link™ Capture Software 11.6 is used for such an SmartNIC in an ntservice.ini file, the file is not accepted.
