    GUID-E75BD32C-DFFF-4426-B62B-2E6C8DBF7DC0-low.png
  2. Configure the following parameters:
    Level 2 Area ID Define a Level 2 Area ID for the Mint Policy. The Level 2 Area ID is the global mint area identifier. This area identifier separates two overlapping mint networks and need only be configured if the administrator has two mint networks that share the same packet broadcast domain.
    MTU Specify a MTU value for the mint policy between 900 and 1,500. The MTU setting specifies the maximum packet size used for mint packets. Larger packets will be fragmented so they fit within this packet size limit. The administrator may want to configure this parameter if the mint backhaul network requires or recommends smaller packet sizes. The default value is 1500.
    UDP/IP Encapsulation Port Specify the port to use for UDP/IP encapsulation between 2 and 65,534. This value specifies an alternate UDP port used by mint packets (and must be an even number). This port is used by mint control packets, and this port's value plus 1 is used to carry mint data packets. The default value is 24576.
  3. Select OK to save the changes. Select Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
