DESCRIPTION

 

Sustain Cell Rate

The Sustain Cell Rate (SCR) sets the average cell rate (long-term) that can be

 

 

transmitted. Type the SCR, which must be less than the PCR. Note that system

 

 

default is 0 cells/sec.

 

 

 

 

Maximum Burst

Maximum Burst Size (MBS) refers to the maximum number of cells that can be

 

Size

sent at the peak rate. Type the MBS, which is less than 65535.

 

 

 

 

MTU

 

 

 

 

 

MTU

The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) defines the size of the largest packet

 

 

allowed on an interface or connection. Enter the MTU in this field.

 

 

For ENET ENCAP, the MTU value is 1500.

 

 

For PPPoE, the MTU value is 1492.

 

 

For PPPoA and RFC 1483, the MTU is 65535.

7.7 Traffic Redirect

Traffic redirect forwards traffic to a backup gateway when the ZyXEL Device cannot connect to the Internet. An example is shown in the figure below.

Figure 72 Traffic Redirect Example

The following network topology allows you to avoid triangle route security issues when the backup gateway is connected to the LAN. Use IP alias to configure the LAN into two or three logical networks with the ZyXEL Device itself as the gateway for each LAN network. Put the protected LAN in one subnet (Subnet 1 in the following figure) and the backup gateway in another subnet (Subnet 2). Configure filters that allow packets from the protected LAN (Subnet 1) to the backup gateway (Subnet 2).
