permitted for Internet transmission. “Automatic” sets the MTU at 1500. Other

choices include “Automatic by DHCP,” which sets the MTU according to the DHCP

connection, and “Manual,” which allows the MTU to be set manually.

Additional IP Addresses

where additional IP addresses can be created to access the FiOS Router via the

Ethernet connection.

This section displays the connection status of the FiOS Router’s four

Ethernet ports. Clicking on a connection’s “Action” icon (in the column on the

right) generates the “Port Settings” screen, where ingress and egress policies can

be edited.
