By default, global IP settings are applied to ports. You can modify some of these settings by port. The modified settings override the global settings.

There are two options available to modify the settings: Edit or Customize. The option that is available depends on whether the port is currently using global settings or customized settings.

  1. Navigate to Configuration > System > Advanced IP Configuration.
  2. In the Ports pane, select the port that you want to modify, and then click Edit or Customize to update the following settings:
    Setting Description
    Ignore ICMP Echo Requests Set the toggle switch to Disabled or Enabled. When enabled, this option instructs the system not to respond to Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo requests.

    The default is Disabled.
    IP MTU for Off-Subnet Transmits (Bytes) Enter the maximum IP packet size in use when transmitting to a different subnet. The valid range is 68 to 9600 bytes.

    For IPv6 traffic, this value must be 1280 or greater.

    The default is 1500.
    TCP MTU Enter the size of the maximum transmission unit (MTU) in use for TCP packets when transmitting to a locally configured subnet. The valid range is 68 to 9600 bytes.

    For IPv6 traffic, this value must be 1280 or greater.

    The default is 1500.
    IP MTU for Off-Subnet Transmits (Bytes) Enter the maximum IP packet size in use when transmitting to a different subnet. The valid range is 68 to 9600 bytes.

    The default is 1500.
    Other Protocol MTU (Bytes) Enter the size of the MTU for protocols other than TCP when transmitting to a locally configured subnet. The valid range is 68 to 9600 bytes.

    For IPv6 traffic, this value must be 1280 or greater.

    The default is 1500.
