Setting the duplex mode
You can set duplex mode to full or half duplex. If the media type does not
accept the duplex mode setting, an onscreen message indicates this. If media
type is set to auto, or if the interface does not accept the duplex mode
setting, the duplex setting is not saved to /config/bigip_base.conf.
Use the following syntax to set the duplex mode:
b interface <if_name> duplex full | half
Hardware acceleration
The Packet Velocity
®
ASIC 10 optimizes application performance, and
reduces application wait times. An ASIC is an Application Specific
Integrated Circuit. The Packet Velocity ASIC is designed to accelerate
Layer 4 decisions. Off-loading the Layer 4 decisions enables the BIG-IP
system to increase performance and throughput for basic routing functions
(Layer 4) and application switching (Layer 7).
