User's Guide

The Advanced Settings tab has settings for:

• [Checkbox] – Use built-in IPv6 Management

• [Checkbox] – Force link (to ignore carrier sense events)

• Overriding the unit’s MAC address

• Overriding the default Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) - packet size

(for advanced users only - we recommend the default MTU setting)

• Using a gateway metric - Gateway metric defines the value that is assigned

to an IP route for a network interface that identifies the cost that is

associated with using that route. If the device has two routes to the same

destination, the route with the lower metric will be preferred. The default

value of 0 is usually the recommended setting for the LAN interfaces as the

routes advertised by the LAN are usually “connected” routes.

NOTE: Built-in IPv6 management enables IPv6 prefix delegation for

cases of IPv6 traffic tunneling over IPv4 networks.
