IP Connection Overview

This dialog shows the status of all links in the device that are configured for IP routing.


Connection
The name assigned to the link during configuration.

State
The Operational Status of the link—Up (operational), Down (not operational),

Protocol
The IP routing protocol configured for use on the link—RIP-1, RIP-2, triggered RIP, or None/Static (dynamic routing using RIP is disabled and static routing to defined destinations is used).

MAC Address
The MAC address of the device for LAN links and <none> for router WAN links.

IP Address
The IP address assigned to the link. An IP address must always be assigned to the LAN link, which is also used as the IP address for the device. WAN links in routers are only assigned an IP address if they are numbered links (WAN links are usually unnumbered).

Mask
The network mask associated with the IP address assigned to the link.

MTU
Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU). The largest packet size which can be transmitted or received on the link in bytes.
