Description/Options

Default Gateway

The network node that serves as an access point to the rest of the network. This value

cannot be blank. Specify the system’s IP address if you don’t have a default gateway on

your network.

DNS Server

The domain name system server (DNS server) translates human-readable hostnames

into corresponding IP addresses. Specify the system’s IP address if you don’t have a

DNS server on your network.

MTU Size

The maximum transmission unit (MTU) specifies the maximum packet size for transfer

on the network. The default value is 1500, which is the largest value allowed by

Ethernet at the network layer. It’s best if all nodes in your network use the same value,

so only change this value if you know other nodes use a different value.

static IP address allocation to dynamic allocation via DHCP. You can accomplish this three ways:

5. Change the MTU Size value only if needed. See the table below for information on maximum

transmission unit (MTU) values.

6. Click Apply to save the changes; the changes are saved and a message appears asking you to reboot.
