LAN or DMZ connection, by selecting the connection type from the drop-down
menu. For more information, refer to Section 9.4.2.

MTU MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largest pack-
et size permitted for Internet transmission. In the default setting, Automatic, the
gateway selects the best MTU for your Internet connection. Select 'Automatic' to let
Watson find the optimal MTU value for your connection. In case you select 'Manual'
it is recommended to enter a value in the 1200 to 1500 range.
Internet Protocol Select one of the following Internet protocol options from the 'In-
ternet Protocol' drop-down menu:
No IP Address

Use the Following IP Address
Note that the screen will refresh to display relevant configuration settings ac-
cording to your choice.
No IP Address Select 'No IP Address' if you require that your gateway have
no IP address. This can be useful if you are working in an environment where
you are not connected to other networks, such as the Internet.
Figure 9-103: Internet Protocol – No IP Address
Obtain an IP Address Automatically Your connection is configured by default
to act as a DHCP client. You should keep this configuration in case your service
provider supports DHCP, or if you are connecting using a dynamic IP address.
The server that assigns the gateway with an IP address, also assigns a subnet
mask. You can override the dynamically assigned subnet mask by selecting the
'Override Subnet Mask' and specifying your own mask instead. You can click the
'Release' button to release the current leased IP address. Once the address has
been released, the button text changes to 'Renew'. Use the 'Renew' button to
renew the leased IP address.
