Setting up the Ethernet Frame Size & Advertising Modes
The Network Properties page lets you set the Ethernet frame size and determine
how you want to advertise the presence of the NSS within your network.
To configure the network properties:
STEP 1
From the Manager Menu, click Network
Properties.
The Network Properties page appears.
STEP 2
Set the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU), in bytes, in the MTU field. This is the
largest Ethernet frame that your network can handle. The default MTU size is 1500
bytes. MTU sizes greater than 1500 bytes are considered "jumbo frames".
STEP 3
To assign the link MTU size automatically using the DHCP server, click Assign
automatically via DHCP. In this case, the value entered in the MTU field is used as a
backup if the DHCP server does not provide an MTU value or if the server cannot
be reached.
STEP 4
Based on your network requirements, enable any of the following:
•
Advertise using UPnP: The NSS is advertised within the network using
UPnP.
•
Advertise using Zeroconf/Bonjour: The NSS is advertised within the
network using Zeroconf/Bonjour.
