Changing Network Parameters

Changing Network Parameters

Network parameters are those settings that determine how an interface processes or supplies certain network information. Modifying network parameters requires that you create and modify the appropriate /etc/config/ifconfig-#.options file (where "#" can be 1, 2, 3, or 4, based on the interface name).

The default parameter settings are known to function well and suit most site needs. Changing the settings can cause a network to become dysfunctional. It is recommended that these parameters be changed only by experienced or trained network managers.
