The following parameters in Ethernet > Connections > Connection profile > IP Options define
the ability of the MAX unit to respond to multicast clients, and the rate at which the unit
accepts multicast clients:
Client parameters
The following parameters in Ethernet > Connections > Connection profile > IP Options define
primary and secondary server addresses that the MAX unit sends to any client connecting to
the unit, whether or not the addresses appear during the negotiation, and a Connection-specific
default route to be used for forwarding packets received on the connection:
IPX Options
The Ethernet > Connections > Connection profile > IPX Options subprofile includes the
following parameters that define whether the remote IPX caller is a router or dialin client, how
Parameter Specifies
Multicast Client Enable/disable the MAX unit to respond to multicast clients on the
WAN link. Multicast is a transmission method in which one device
communicates with destination hosts by means of a single
transmission to all recipients on a subscriber list. Clients cannot be
supported on the multicast interface, so another WAN link or the local
Ethernet supports a multicast router.
Multicast Rate Limit Rate at which the unit accepts multicast packets from clients on this
interface.
Parameter Specifies
Client Pri DNS Primary Domain Name System (DNS) server address to be sent to any
client connecting to the MAX unit. Client DNS has two levels: a
global configuration that applies to all PPP connections, and a
Connection-specific configuration that applies to that connection only.
The global client addresses are used only if none are specified in the
Connection profile. You can also choose to present your local DNS
servers if no client servers are defined or available.
Client Sec DNS Secondary DNS server address to be sent to any client connecting to
the unit.
Client Assign DNS Whether or not client DNS server addresses will appear while this
connection is being negotiated.
Client Gateway A Connection-specific default route to be used for forwarding packets
received on this connection. The unit uses this default route instead of
the system-wide Default route in its routing table. This route is
Connection-specific, so it is not added to the routing table.
