Parameter Description
Secondary IP
Address Applies to Numbered interfaces. Indicates a second (or third, etc. up to eight) IP address
that can be used to refer to this interface. This parameter and the next are repeated until no
value is entered.
Subnet Mask Applies to Numbered interfaces. Subnet mask of Secondary IP Address .
IP MTU Assigns the size of the Maximum Transmission Unit for the interface. This determines
whether or not a given IP datagram is fragmented.
NAT Does not apply to Expanded NAT. Determines the type of IP address if NAT is being used.
Use
Global otherwise. See chapter 11 or the examples in chapter 2 for details on how to
configure NAT.
ICMP Port Active causes the router to send ICMP Port Unreachable messages when it receives UDP
or TCP messages for ports that are not recognized. This type of message is used by some
traceroute applications, and if disabled, the router might not be identified in the traceroute
output. However, there are security and performance reasons to leave this option
Inactive .
