Netmask
This is the remote network’s IP subnet mask. Use the following command:
set location <location name> netmask <netmask>
MTU
The Maximum Transmission Unit specifies the size of the largest packet that may be sent to this location. 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 remote network can handle. However, an IP connection using
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). Use the following command:
set location <location name> mtu <value>
IPX
Routing
Set the level of RIP messaging that the two devices will ex- change during the connection. Use the following command:
set location <location name> routing <broadcast listen on off>
broadcast | Send dynamic routing information to the remote |
| device. (but do not listen) |
listen | Listen for dynamic routes received from the remote |
| device. (but do not broadcast) |
on | Do both of the above. |
off | Do not send dynamic routing information. Ignore |
| dynamic routes received. |
