|
| MTU | The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a link layer restriction on the |
|
|
| maximum number of bytes of data that can be sent in a single transmission. |
|
|
| The default size is 1400 bytes per packet. |
|
| MRU | The Maximum Receive Unit (MRU) field indicates the maximum number of |
|
|
| bytes that can be received by the Router. This MRU’s default size is 1492 |
|
|
| bytes per packet. Upon initial negotiation with your ISP, the router will tell |
|
|
| the ISP that the amount entered here is the largest packet allowed to be |
|
|
| accepted by the router. |
|
| Default Route | Click the corresponding radio button if you wish to enable or disable the |
|
|
| Default Route. The Default Route is used for outgoing packets, which have an |
|
|
| unresolved IP address. If the router is unable to match the destination address |
|
|
| on a received packet with a destination address in the routing table, the router |
|
|
| uses the default route. |
|
| NAT | NAT improves network security in effect by hiding the private network |
|
|
| behind one global and visible IP address. NAT address mapping can also be |
|
|
| used to link two IP domains via a |
|
|
| down menu to Enable or Disable NAT on the Router. |
|
| Firewall | The Firewall allows the Router to enforce policies to protect against certain |
|
|
| kinds of attacks. To enable the firewall on the Router, use the |
|
|
| menu and select Enabled. |
|
| IP Control | This field allows the user to control the WAN IP address of the router. There |
|
|
| are three choices for the user: |
|
|
| Dynamic IP – Select this option if you wish to have an IP address |
|
|
| automatically assigned to the router. |
|
|
| Unnumbered IP – Select this option if your ISP has assigned a block of IP |
|
|
| addresses for use. |
|
|
| Static IP – Select this option if you know the IP address assigned to the |
|
|
| router. After selecting this option, the user must enter the known Static IP |
|
|
| address in the following field. A Static IP address is used whenever a known |
|
|
| static IP is assigned. |
|
| Static IP | This field states the Static IP Address of the Router and can only be |
|
|
| configured when Static IP is chosen in the previous field. |
