Bandwidth This is reserved for future use.
Enter the maximum amount of traffic, in kilobits per second, the ZyWALL can
receive from the network through the interface. Allowed values are 0 - 1048576.
MTU Maximum Transmission Unit. Type the maximum size of each data packet, in
bytes, that can move through this interface. If a larger packet arrives, the
ZyWALL divides it into smaller fragments. Allowed values are 576 - 1500.
Usually, this value is 1500.
Connectivity Check This option is available for the WAN and OPT interfaces. The interface can
regularly check the connection to the gateway you specified to make sure it is
still available. You specify how often the interface checks the connection, how
long to wait for a response before the attempt is a failure, and how many
consecutive failures are required before the ZyWALL stops routing to the
gateway. The ZyWALL resumes routing to the gateway the first time the
gateway passes the connectivity check.
Enable

Check Method Select the method that the gateway allows.
Select icmp to have the ZyWALL regularly ping the gateway you specify to
make sure it is still available.
Select tcp to have the ZyWALL regularly perform a TCP handshake with the
gateway you specify to make sure it is still available.
Check Period Enter the number of seconds between connection check attempts.
Check Timeout Enter the number of seconds to wait for a response before the attempt is a
failure.
