Novell NETWARE 6-DOCUMENTATION Manual page 1786

If the router supports two or more interfaces and you want to filter
routes and services to a remote site through this interface:
Select Off .
Enable RIP and SAP on the interface.
To enable RIP and SAP, refer to
77.
5
Select MAC Channel , then select the NLSP packet transmission mode.
If you select Multicast , NLSP automatically determines the multicast
address. All systems on a network must be set to Multicast ; otherwise,
the systems default to Broadcast , the default state for this parameter.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the driver you are using supports multicast
transmission; drivers that do not support multicast can cause systems to become
unaware of each other.
6
If you want to customize the interface further, configure one or more of
the following parameters:
IMPORTANT:
Because the default settings for these parameters are suitable for
most NLSP networks, you should change them only for a specific purpose.
Misconfiguring these parameters can increase routing traffic or cause loss of
connectivity on your network.
MTU Override —Overrides the Maximum Transmission Unit
(MTU) of the network medium to which this interface is connected.
All outbound packets on this interface use the value you enter. The
default value is 0, which means use the MTU of the network
medium. For example, the Ethernet MTU is 1,500 bytes.
Configure this parameter if you have a bridge or other device on your
network, or if you want to transmit smaller packets over a WAN.
Priority —Sets the priority of the NLSP router on the network
segment to which this interface is connected. The default priority is
64; increase this value to at least 85 if you want the router to become
the Designated Router for its LAN; decrease it if you want to prevent
the router from becoming the Designated Router.
Cost Override —Overrides the default cost of the network medium
to which this interface is connected. To configure this parameter,
refer to "Balancing Traffic Loads over Equal-Cost Routes" on page
92.
Pace Override —Specifies the maximum number of NLSP packets
that can be sent each second through this interface. On a LAN, the
