Protocol
Select the protocol to be used for the connection (PPP or SLIP). Use the following command:
set user <user name> protocol <ppp slip>
IPX
Netmask
Use the following command to tell the NETServer the remote network’s IP subnet mask:
set user <user name> netmask <netmask>
MTU
The Maximum Transmission Unit specifies the size of the largest packet that may be received from the remote location. IPX connections will discard larger packets. IP connections will fragment larger packets. Normally, this should be set to the largest value possible. However, an IP connection using multi- line load balancing may benefit from a smaller MTU (see Step 3 of Location setup, earlier in this chapter).
Valid PPP MTUs range from 100 to 1500 (default is 1500). Note that PPP allows remote systems to negotiate a smaller MTU if needed. Valid SLIP MTUs range from 100 to 1006 (default is 1006).
