| DF Bit | 
 | 
 | Supported on Cisco IOS routers, Catalyst 6500/7600 devices, | |||
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | PIX 7.0 and ASA devices. | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | A Don't Fragment (DF) bit within an IP header determines whether | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | a device is allowed to fragment a packet. For more information, see | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | Understanding Fragmentation, page  | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | Select the required setting for the DF bit: | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | •  | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | current packet to all the device’s packets. If the packet’s DF bit | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | is set to fragment, all future packets will be fragmented. This is | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | the default option. | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | •  | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | packet that exceeds the MTU will be dropped and an ICMP | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | message sent to the packet’s initiator. | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | •  | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | of the original DF bit setting. If ICMP is blocked, MTU | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | discovery will fail and packets will only be fragmented after | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | encryption. | |

| Enable Fragmentation Before |

| Encryption | 
 | 
 | PIX 7.0 and ASA devices. | |||
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | When selected, enables fragmentation to occur before encryption, if | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | the expected packet size exceeds the MTU. | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | Lookahead Fragmentation (LAF) is used before encryption takes | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | place to calculate the packet size that would result after encryption, | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | depending on the transform sets configured on the IPSec SA. If the | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | packet size exceeds the specified MTU, the packet will be | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | fragmented before encryption. | |

| Enable Notification on | 
 | Supported on PIX 7.0 and ASA devices. | ||||
| Disconnection | 
 | When selected, enables the device to notify qualified peers of | ||||
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | ||
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | sessions that are about to be disconnected. The peer receiving the | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | alert decodes the reason and displays it in the event log or in a | |
