MTU is less than the size of a minimal IP datagram, the value will automatically
change to the minimal datagram size.
Network Mask
is used during routing to determine the portion of the address associated with the
network. All network bits are set to
1
and must be contiguous.
Routing Metric Count
is the number of network “hops” (network gateways in the overall path over the
internet) associated with this interface (usually
0
). During routing, the interface with
the lowest count will be selected.
ICMP Redirects
specifies whether IP may add routes obtained by ICMP (Internet Control Message
Protocol), whose error and control function is used to send re-direction options back
to the source if problems are discovered.
RIP Flash Updates
is the frequency with which Routing Information Protocol (RIP) messages will be sent
to every neighbor node, containing any changes to the routing table that occurred since
the last full update (see next entry).
RIP Full Updates
is the frequency with which updates of the entire routing table will be sent to every
neighbor node, via one or more RIP messages.
Interface Type:
0
= X.25
1
= Ethernet
2
= FRL (frame relay)
3
= Network
4
= 802.3
5
= 802.5 (Token Ring)
A network interface ties the local node to all other FRX8000 nodes in the
network with IP interfaces.
Source IP Address
is the IP address of the end-to-end sender.
Destination IP Address
is the IP address of the end-to-end receiver.
Broadcast IP Address
is used to send to all LAN hosts on the network.
Source Subscriber
is a subscriber ID that defines an IP interface in the node, by associating itself with
port 64 (a number reserved for the IP interface) on the RLP that has IP installed on it.
(See the footnote following
Table 14-1 .)
Destination Subscriber
is a subscriber ID associated with the physical X.25 port that will be used for the IP
interface. (See the footnote following
Table 14-1 .)
SVC Retry Timer
is the frequency with which calls will be placed to try to establish a connection.
