esconStationUnitSize

Module: IBMESCON-MIB

OID (symbolic): IBMESCON-MIB::esconStationUnitSize

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.5.17.3.1.1.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: Maximum size of a buffer, in bytes, that the host can receive from this station.

What is esconStationUnitSize?

This read-only integer, in bytes within 64 to 4000, reports the maximum buffer size the host can receive from this ESCON station. Admins reference this alongside message-size settings to understand the data-transfer granularity negotiated for the station. For example, a unit size capped at 512 despite the host supporting larger buffers would indicate the station itself is the limiting factor for transfer efficiency.

Examples
