activity. This option is recommended if you pay a flat fee for your Internet
service.
Max Idle Time: Lets the security appliance disconnect from the Internet
after a specified period of inactivity (Idle Time). If you choose this option,
enter the value in minutes in the Maximum Idle Time field. This option is
recommended if your ISP fees are based on the time that you spend online.
MTU: The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the size, in bytes, of the
largest packet that can be passed on. Choose Auto to use the default MTU
size, or choose Manual if you want to specify another size.
MTU Size: If you choose Manual, enter the custom MTU size in bytes.
NOTE For PPPoE connections, the default MTU size is 1492 bytes. Unless a
change is required by your ISP, it is recommended that the MTU
values be left as is.

Configuring the WAN Redundancy
If you have two ISP links, one for WAN1 and another for WAN2, you can configure
the WAN redundancy to determine how the two ISP links are used.
NOTE Before you configure the WAN redundancy, you must configure the secondary
WAN connection. See Configuring the Secondary WAN, page 104.
