Set/Define SLIP Command Reference
12-96
12.49.1 Set SLIP
Initiates a SLIP connection. The IP address of the remote SLIP host and the MTU and Broadcast parameters
are optional; the server SLIP defaults will be used if they are not specified. An IP address must be present,
either on the Set SLIP command line or in the Define SLIP tables.
Applies To EPS4, ETS4P, ETS8, ETS8P, ETS16, ETS16P
Parameters Broadcast
Specifies whether broadcast IP packets will be forwarded to the remote SLIP
host. There are three choices for Broadcast: Enabled, Disabled, and Default.
The Default setting takes its value from the SLIP defaults; if none is set, it
defaults to Disabled.
MTU
Specifies the SLIP connection’s Maximum Transfer Unit (maximum packet
size) in bytes. Lower mtuval settings give less retransmission but are also less
efficient.
IPaddress
Enter the numeric IP address of the desired host.
Examples
Local> Set SLIP [uses all defaults]
Local> Set SLIP IPADD tunafish MTU 500
