MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide
Configuring Individual WAN Connections
The Connection profile
Multicast parameters
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.
