  2. Review the existing MiNT IP settings. The IP tab displays the IP address, Routing Level, Listening Link, Port, Forced Link, Link Cost, Hello Packet Interval, Adjacency Hold Time, IPSec Secure, and IPSec GW information that managed devices use to communicate securely with each other.
  3. Click Add to create a new link IP configuration or Edit to override an existing configuration.

  4. Set the following Link IP parameters for the MiNT network address configuration:

    IP

    Define or override the IP address used by peer access points for interoperation when supporting the MiNT protocol.

    Port

    To specify a custom port for MiNT links, select this option and use the spinner control to define or override the port number from 1 - 65,535.

    Routing Level

    Define or override a routing level of either 1 or 2.

    Listening Link

    Specify a listening link of either 0 or 1. UDP/IP links can be created by configuring a matching pair of links, one on each end point. However, that is error prone and does not scale. So UDP/IP links can also listen (in the TCP sense), and dynamically create connected UDP/IP links when contacted.

    Forced Link

    Select this option to specify the MiNT link as a forced link. This setting is disabled by default.

    Link Cost

    Define or override a link cost from 1 - 10,000. The default value is 100.

    Hello Packet Interval

    Set or override an interval in either seconds (1 - 120) or minutes (1 - 2) for the transmission of hello packets. The default interval is 15 seconds.

    Adjacency Hold Time

    Set or override a hold time interval in either seconds (2 - 600) or minutes (1 - 10) for the transmission of hello packets. The default interval is 46 seconds.

    IPSec Secure

    Select this option to use a secure link for IPSec traffic. This setting is disabled by default. When this option is enabled, both the header and the traffic payload are encrypted.

    IPSec GW

    Define either an IP address or hostname for the IPSec gateway.
  5. Click OK to save the changes made to the MiNT protocol network address configuration.

    Click Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
