system setup parameters


To get higher transfer rates on Linux, the system parameters for the max network buffer size must be set.
The system administrator needs to set these parameters to allow large network buffers for UDP on Linux:
      > sysctl -a | grep net.core
      > sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=16777216
      > sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=16777216
Add these lines to /etc/sysctl.conf to make them permanent.
If you add or remove network cards, remove the old udev rules to properly renumber the existing interfaces:
      > rm /etc/udev/rules.d/*-net.rules
Reboot the system and read the new auto generated file to find the current interfaces.
Modify /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth{0-N} to specify the interfaces hardware address.
ICE Network Appliances use the subnet 192.168.N.XXX where N is the ethN of the network data port.
Make sure to modify the HWADDR, IPADDR, NETWORK, and GATEWAY to reflect the ethN interface number.
Then run /etc/init.d/network restart to apply the changes.
