7.5 Using DHCP GUI to Configure DHCP
Interface MTU
Specifies the maximum transmit unit (MTU) to use on this interface. Specify the
MTU as a 16-bit unsigned integer.
Minimum legal value is 68.
Maximum Reassembly Size
Specifies the maximum size datagram that the client should be prepared to
reassemble. Specify the size as a 16-bit unsigned integer.
Minimum legal value is 576.
MTU Plateaus
Specifies a table of MTU sizes to use when performing Path MTU Discovery as
defined in RFC 1191. The table is formatted as a list of 16-bit unsigned integers,
ordered from smallest to largest.
The minimum value cannot be smaller than 68.
PMTU Timeout
Specifies the timeout to use when aging Path MTU values discovered by the
mechanism defined in RFC 1191. Specify the timeout in seconds as a 32-bit
unsigned integer.
Perform Mask Discovery
Specifies whether the client should perform subnet mask discovery using the
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP).
The following are valid values:
False: Client should not perform mask discovery.
True: Client should perform mask discovery.
Perform Router Discovery
Specifies whether the client should solicit routers using the Router Discovery
mechanism defined in RFC 1256.
The following are valid values:
False: Client should not perform router discovery.
True: Client should perform router discovery.
Policy Filters
Specifies policy filters for nonlocal source routing. The filters consist of a list of
IP addresses and masks that specify destination/mask pairs with which to filter
incoming source routes.
The client should discard a source-routed datagram whose next-hop address does
not match one of the filters.
Use this format: ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd.
Solicit Router
Specifies the IP address to which the client should transmit router solicitation
requests.
Use this format: ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd.
