IP Mask List-- The IP Mask List window displays a list of common IP
subnet masks for a given size IP subnet.
Default TTL-- The Time To Live (TTL) counter avoids endless
forwarding of message frames with incorrect addressing by defining a
maximum number of hops a packet can take. Each time the frame is
forwarded by a router, the TTL counter decreases by one.
When the TTL = 0, the frame is rejected.
Syslog Host Address-- Syslog messages can be used to log information
such as logins, service errors and general configuration information.
Since there is no storage on a base station, a general purpose computer is
needed to log these messages.
The Syslog Host Address is the IP Address of the system which accepts
"syslog" system logging packets from the base station.
Syslog Host Facility
Syslog messages can be used to log information such as logins, service
errors and general configuration information. Since there is no storage
on a base station, a general purpose computer is needed to log these
messages.
The Syslog Host Facility describes the part of the system generating the
syslog message, and in UNIX-based systems usually uses one of the
following keywords: auth, authpriv, cron, daemon, kern, lpr, mail, mark,
news, syslog, user, uucp, and local0 through local7.
The base station is capable of sending messages using the local0-local7
facilities. Enter the correct syslog facility number (0-7) that corresponds
to the local facility type on your syslog host.
