6-16 LAN-to-LAN Routing
Netmask
This is the remote network’s IP subnet mask. Use the following
command:
set location <location name> netmask <netmask>
MTU
The Maximum Transmission Unit specifies the size of the largest
packet that may be sent to this location. IPX connections will
discard larger packets. IP connections will fragment larger
packets prior to transmission. Normally, this should be set to
the largest value that the remote network can handle. However,
an IP connection using multi-line load balancing may benefit
from a smaller MTU (see Step 3, below).
Valid PPP MTUs range from 100 to 1500 (default is 1500). Note
that PPP allows a remote system to negotiate a smaller MTU if
needed. Valid SLIP MTUs range from 100 to 1006 (default is
1006). Use the following command:
set location <location name> mtu <value>
IPX LAN-to-LAN routing requires an MTU of 1500. If you have
assigned an IPX Network Number, the NETServer will set this
to 1500 automatically.
Routing
Set the level of RIP messaging that the two devices will ex-
change during the connection. Use the following command:
set location <location name> routing <

broadcast Send dynamic routing information to the remote
device. (but do not listen)
listen Listen for dynamic routes received from the remote
device. (but do not broadcast)
on Do both of the above.
off Do not send dynamic routing information. Ignore
dynamic routes received.
