LAN Speed

(under General 
Settings in local 
interface)

Specifies whether to use 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps for the LAN speed. Note 
that the speed you choose must be supported by the switch.

Duplex Mode

(under General 
Settings in local 
interface)

Specifies the duplex mode to use. Note that the Duplex mode you choose must be 
supported by the switch.

Ignore Redirect 
Messages

(web interface only)

Enables the RealPresence Group system to ignore ICMP redirect messages. 

You should enable this setting under most circumstances.

ICMP Transmission 
Rate Limit (millisec)

(web interface only)

Specifies the minimum number of milliseconds between transmitted packets. Enter a 
number between 0 and 60000. The default value of 1000 signifies that the system sends 
1 packet per second. If you enter 0, the transmission rate limit is disabled. 

This setting applies only to “error” ICMP packets. This setting has no effect on 
“informational” ICMP packets, such as echo requests and replies.

Generate Destination 
Unreachable 
Messages

(web interface only)

Generates an ICMP 

Destination Unreachable

 message if a packet cannot be 

delivered to its destination for reasons other than network congestion. 

Respond to 
Broadcast and 
Multicast Echo 
Requests

(web interface only)

Sends an ICMP 

Echo Reply

 message in response to a broadcast or multicast Echo 

Request, which is not specifically addressed to the RealPresence Group system.

IPv6 DAD Transmit 
Count

(web interface only)

Specifies the number of Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) messages to transmit before 
acquiring an IPv6 address. The RealPresence Group system sends DAD messages to 
determine whether the address it is requesting is already in use.

Select whether to transmit 0, 1, 2, or 3 DAD requests for an IPv6 address.

Enable PC LAN Port

This setting appears only for RealPresence Group 700 systems.

Specifies whether the PC LAN port is enabled on the back of the system. Disable this 
setting for increased security. 

Enable LLDP

(under General 
Settings in local 
interface)

Specifies whether Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is enabled.

Enable EAP/802.1X

(under EAP 802.1X in 
local interface)

Specifies whether EAP/802.1X network access is enabled. RealPresence Group systems 
support the following authentication protocols:

•

EAP-MD5

•

EAP-PEAPv0 (MSCHAPv2)

•

EAP-TTLS
