is the maximum size (in bytes) of the data field that can be used to encapsulate an IP
datagram for transmission over the interface. Any datagrams larger than the
will be fragmented, resulting in additional processing on any inter-

is the number of network "hops" (network gateways in the overall path over the
internet) associated with this interface (usually zero). During routing, the interface
with the lowest count will be selected.
specifies whether IP may add routes obtained by ICMP (Internet Control Message
Protocol), whose error and control function is used to send re-direction options back
to the source if problems are discovered.
specifies the level of RIP support on the interface:
0 Enabled
1 Receive Only
2 Disabled
is the frequency with which RIP messages will be sent to every neighbor node, con-
taining any changes to the routing table that occurred since the last full update (see
next entry).
is the frequency with which updates of the entire routing table will be sent to every
neighbor node, via one or more RIP messages.
prioritizes this interface for intra-nodal traffic; the higher the number, the higher the
priority. (This priority has no effect on traffic exiting a node.)
Priorities are configured on all logical interfaces that use a physical frame relay port.
The device processor in the node uses these priorities to help determine the order in
which it will process protocols.
When configuring priorities, be careful to consider the types of
traffic being routed on other connections in the node.
All RIP messages will be accepted, and messages of the
version configured in IP Node Defaults (
the Main Menu—see page

RIP messages will be accepted, but not transmitted.
No RIP messages will be accepted or transmitted.
