encapsulation only)
The schedule rule(s) have priority over your
Connection
settings.

ENET ENCAP
Gateway (ENET
ENCAP
encapsulation only)
You must specify a gateway IP address (supplied by your ISP) when you select
ENET
ENCAP
in the
Encapsulation

TCP MSS Option
(PPPoA/PPPoE,
Routing mode only)
This will increase the current MSS limit to the number specified, hence the tweak test
will report Max Packet Size as the specified number plus 40*. The catch is that every
time your PPPoE disconnects and re-connects it will revert back to MSS limit of 1400
(Max packet size of 1440) and needs to be entered after PPPoE connects again. This
function does not work before PPPoE connects.
*Referring to RFC879, the MSS value = MTU - 40, so by limiting the MSS value,
you will get limited MTU value.
