mtu <size>

Use the mtu command to configure the maximum transmit unit (MTU) size for the active interface. Use
the no form of this command to return to the default value.

Syntax Description

<size>

Configures the window size for transmitted packets. The valid ranges for the
various interfaces are listed below:
ATM interfaces

64 to 1520

Demand interfaces

64 to 1520

Ethernet interfaces

64 to 1500

FDL interfaces

64 to 256

HDLC interfaces

64 to 1520

Loopback interfaces

64 to 1500

Tunnel interfaces

64 to 18,190

Virtual Frame Relay sub-interfaces

64 to 1520

Virtual PPP interfaces

64 to 1500

Default Values

<size>

The default values for the various interfaces are listed below:
ATM interfaces

1500

Demand interfaces

1500

Ethernet interfaces

1500

FDL interfaces

256

HDLC interfaces

1500

Loopback interfaces

1500

Tunnel interfaces

1500

Virtual Frame Relay sub-interfaces

1500

Virtual PPP interfaces

1500

Applicable Platforms

This command applies to the NetVanta 1000R, 3000, 4000, and 5000 Series units.

Command History

Release 1.1

Command was introduced.

Release 11.1

Command expanded to include the demand interface.

Functional Notes

OSPF will not become adjacent on links where the MTU sizes do not match. If router A and router B are
exchanging hello packets but their MTU sizes do not match, they will never reach adjacency. This is by
design and required by the RFC.

Usage Examples

The following example specifies an MTU of 1200 on the virtual demand interface:

(config)#interface demand 1

(config-demand 1)#mtu 1200
