Figure 74. Enabling MPC support on MSS client
From the Navigation Window (see Figure 50 on page 79) click Protocol ->
MPOA/NHRP -> MPOA Client
. We enabled the client, plus MPC for IP. We
used our locally administered ESI and generated selector 00.
Since the shortcut was to be between token-ring and Ethernet, we needed a
frame fragmentation, since the two types of frames have different MTU sizes.
As long as the MSS server is doing the routing, it does the fragmentation as
well. With the shortcut established, one of the MPCs has to do the
fragmentation and that was to be the MSS client.
The LECS configuration parameters accepted box is checked by default. This
parameter indicates whether configuration parameters from the LECS will be
accepted by MPC.
