packets sent on an interface. Use the no form to restore the default setting.

Syntax

size - Specifies the MTU size. (Range: 1280-65535 bytes)

Default Setting

1500 bytes

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (VLAN)

Command Usage

• If a non-default value is configured, an MTU option is included in the router

advertisements sent from this device. This option is provided to ensure that all
nodes on a link use the same MTU value in cases where the link MTU is not
otherwise well known.

• IPv6 routers do not fragment IPv6 packets forwarded from other routers.

However, traffic originating from an end-station connected to an IPv6 router
may be fragmented.

• All devices on the same physical medium must use the same MTU in order to

operate correctly.

• IPv6 must be enabled on an interface before the MTU can be set.

Example
The following example sets the MTU for VLAN 1 to 1280 bytes:
