Setting the MTU for an Ethernet interface or subinterface
The maximum transmission unit (MTU) of an Ethernet interface affects the fragmentation and reassembly of IP packets on the interface. Typically, you do not need to modify the MTU of an interface.
To set the MTU for an Ethernet interface or subinterface:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter Ethernet interface or subinterface view. | interface interface-type { interface-number | interface-number.subnumber } | N/A |
3. Set the MTU of the Ethernet interface or subinterface. | mtu size | The default setting is 1500 bytes. |
