Max Relay Hops
Determines the maximum number of router hops allowed to reach a destination.
Default: 4
Range: 1 to 16 (hops)
Max Retransmissions
Determines the number of times TFTP retransmits an unacknowledged data
message before abandoning the transfer attempt.
Default: 5
Metric
Assigns a cost to the propagated route.
Mode
(normal or end-node)
Used in the initial IP display to specify whether the IP router will route or bridge IP
datagrams it receives on any circuit group.
Default: Router/Host
Host only
Makes the router run in IP end-node mode, as if it is a virtual host on one of the
bridged interfaces. If you are bridging IP traffic, select this mode. No IP routing is
done in this mode.
Router/Host
Routes IP traffic normally. (The router can also be addressed as a host or node.) If
you are not bridging IP traffic, select this mode.
Mode
(Time Protocol)
Used in time protocol configuration to access from ‘‘8. Time Protocol Configuration’’
IP menu item. Determines whether the router supplies or receives the time service,
or does both.
Default: Server only
Client only
Makes the router poll a designated server for the time when the router is initialized.
Server only
Makes router answer time requests made by clients using its address. It provides the
time kept on this router (set by the NCL Interpreter’s Time command), which is
converted by the client to its local time).
Server and Client
Allows the router to send and receive time server updates.
MTU Discovery
Option
Enables or disables the Probe MTU and Reply MTU options (IP options number 11
and 12 specified in RFC 1063). These features enable the router to learn the
minimum Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of all networks traversed by an IP
datagram from source to destination. They can significantly decrease network load
by eliminating the need for transmit fragmentation and destination reassembly.
Default: No
No
Disables MTU discovery.
