Re: How is Autoexec.net Edited and Saved

sys errctl 0
sys trcl level 5
sys trcl type 1180
sys trcp cr 96 128
sys trcl sw on
ip tcp mss 1024
ip tcp limit 2
ip tcp irtt 65000

ip adjmss 1452 [I added this line]
ip anti 1

Bobsled, would editing the line "ip tcp mss 1024" to "ip tcp mss 1452" achieve a permanent 1452 MSS hence 1492 MTU so as not to have to edit Menu 24-8 each time on ppoe with RT311-314 when reconnecting? I see you entered it at the end of the string but does that overwride the previous command?

No, "ip tcp mss 1024" does NOT apply to WAN -- it only applies to router's internal http, telnet and ftp servers.

[edited to clarify] To "permanantly" change WAN MTU=1492 for PPPoE just add "ip adjmss 1452" to autoexec.net.

Thanks bbarrera, I was hoping there might be a permanent solution to save the trouble of re-entering the adj mss in 24-8 every time there is a server change (often) with Pac-bell dsl If anyone does I haven't read it yet.

I can see it coming, now we will have endless thread about tweaking the autoexec.net

Most of these entries should probably only be touched if you know exactly what you are doing. Here is a stab at some of them:

sys errctl 0: According to the CI reference, you could go up to level 3. This is only useful for the developers. If set to three and the router crashes, it will dump the core to the serial port and also save it for further analysis and it will also stay in debug mode for lowlevel troubleshooting. I think most of us want it to reboot after a crash, right?

The next few commands setup some initial settings for packet tracing, e.g. sys trcp cr 96 128 reserves a buffer for internal storage of 96 entries of size 128.

Now we have some basic IP configurations. Don't know much about those.

later we turn off some (memory?) debugging and turn on the wdog.

I guess we all know what the "ip anti 1" is.

There is a solution!!! Add the line "ip adjmss 1452" to autexec.net and you'll always have MTU=1492. Works great.

No synack not all of US know what the "ip anti 1" is, I thought that is why there are forums like this so people could learn from others. I asked a question because I do not have all the answers As of my last reading of FAQ's on tweaking there was NO permanent fix for the annoying. constant editing of MSS in menu 24-8 to 1452.

Re: How is Autoexec.net Edited and Saved

Sorry, I was a little too brief about the "ip anti 1". This is a new 3.25 command that isn't even explained in the CI reference.
A week ago, virtually nobody would have heard of it, but it was featured prominently in quite a few recent discussions.

Unfortunately, the DSLR search engine is so buggy that a forum search of "anti" would not have produced anything. Any of you also have problems searching? I just posted the following, feel free to add your experience:
»How buggy is the DSLR forum search engine?

Yeah, search is broken and Justin (DSLR owner) is supposed to fix it some time. I remind him periodically. Perhaps you guys can drop a note to him as well.

I bookmark the threads that I think is important so it makes it a bit easy to refer to them later on.

What are the defaults for the Zywall 10. They seem to be different with respect to the tcp mss and some others? There is no IP ANTI command.

Dash,
You could go into Internet Access Setup [4] and max out your idle time. The most you can get is 34463, this will make your router hold on to the PB ipaddress for a longer time. And if there is activity with in that time frame the counter will reset. I usually have my email open and checking for new mail every 5 or 10 mins. and I've been able to hold on to a ip address for over a week. If you don't want to leave your mail client open and you have a scheduling program, you can try scheduling a ping to a web address every half hour or so. I believe the reason the Netgear routers drop the ip on idle time is because they were designed with dod (Dial on demand) and that is supposed to help save you money if you have a measured rate line.
