| significant bits in an IPv6 address compose the network address. The range is 0 to 128 |
| Default Gateway - Enter the IP address of the |
| router or switch on the same segment as your Device's interface(s). The gateway helps |
| forward packets to their destinations. |

Jumbo Frames | Jumbo frames improve network performance. You must have a 1 Gbps (Gigabit |
| Ethernet) network that supports jumbo frames. Select the largest size of frame that all |
| of your network devices (including computer Ethernet cards and switches, hubs, or |
| routers) support. |
| When enabled, you can choose between 4 KB, 8 KB, and 9 KB frame sizes. |
| Note: If you enable jumbo frames on the NSA in a network that does not support them, |
| you will lose access to the NSA. If this occurs, you will have to restore the factory |
| default configuration. Push the RESET button on the NSA’s rear panel and |
| release it after you hear a beep. |

| connection is OK. |
| • Unable to ping host - The NSA is able to “ping” the selected host. |
