Protocol
Select the protocol to be used for the connection (PPP or SLIP). Use the following command:
set user <name> protocol <ppp slip>
IPX remote access sessions require the PPP protocol. If you have specified an IPX Network Number, the NETServer will set this to PPP automatically.
Netmask
This is the user’s IP subnet mask. Use the following command:
set user <name> netmask <netmask>
MTU
The Maximum Transmission Unit specifies the size of the largest packet that may be sent to this user. IPX connections will discard larger packets. IP connections will fragment larger packets prior to transmission. Normally, this should be set to the largest value that the user’s system can handle.
Valid PPP MTUs range from 100 to 1500 (default is 1500). Note that PPP allows a remote system to negotiate a smaller MTU if needed. Valid SLIP MTUs range from 100 to 1006 (default is 1006).
set user <name> mtu <value>
IPX connections require an MTU of 1500. When you assign an IPX Network Number, the NETServer will set this to 1500 automatically.
