BIPAC-74x Series Router – 741 GE, 741 GE V2.0 and 743 GE
Ip Interface
Ip Interface: IP protocol related setting.
DHCP: Enables or disables DHCP for this interface.
MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. The size of the largest datagram (excluding media-
specific headers) that IP will attempt to send through the interface.
Real Interface, Enabled, Layer2Session: for technical staff inspection purposes.
Tcp Mss Clamp
Tcp Mss Clamp: enables/disables TCP MSS (Maximum Segment Size) Clamp
functionality on an existing IP interface. When TCP MSS Clamp is enabled on an interface,
all TCP traffic routed through that interface will be examined. If a TCP SYN
(synchronize/start) segment is sent with a maximum segment size larger than the interface
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit), the MSS option will be rewritten in order to allow TCP
traffic to pass through the interface without requiring fragmentation.
