IP

To define a profile's MiNT IP configuration:

  1. Select MiNT Protocol from the Advanced Profile's menu item.

  2. Select the IP tab to display the link IP network address information shared by the devices managed by the MiNT configuration.

  3. The IP tab displays the IP address, routing level, link cost, hello packet interval and Adjacency Hold Time managed devices use to securely communicate amongst one another within the managed network. Select Add to create a new Link IP configuration or Edit to modify an existing MiNT configuration.

    Click to expand in new window
  4. Set the following Link IP parameters to complete the MiNT network address configuration:

    IP

    Define the IP address used by peers 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 the port number between 1 and 65,535.

    Routing Level

    Use the spinner control to define 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 doesn't scale. So UDP/IP links can also listen (in the TCP sense), and dynamically create connected UDP/IP links when contacted.

    Forced Link

    Check this box to specify the MiNT link as a forced link.

    Link Cost

    Use the spinner control to set a link cost between 1 - 10,000. The default value is 100.

    Hello Packet Interval

    Set 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 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

    Enable this option to provide IPSec secure peer authentication on the MiNT connection (link). This option is disabled by default.

    IPSec GW

    Select the numerical IP address or administrator defined hostname of the IPSec gateway.
