ADSL/Ethernet router and the LAN PCs or hub. Duplex indicates the type of Ethernet
communication (i.e., full duplex, or half-duplex). These settings are not user-configurable
LAN IP Address and Network Mask: The IP address and network mask for the port.
IGMP: Indicates whether this interface is enabled with the Internet Group Management
Protocol. When enabled, the ADSL/Ethernet router collects and consolidates requests from
the LAN PCs to receive IGMP messages from external computers. The interface also forwards
IGMP messages it receives on its WAN interface to the appropriate hosts. The WAN interface
must also be enabled for the IGMP protocol.
MTU: The Maximum Transmission Unit specifies the size in bytes of the largest Ethernet
packet that the interface will accept. Packets larger than this size will be dropped.
