Configuring Maximum Transition Unit

Maximum transmission unit (MTU) defines the largest size of the packet that can be transmitted as a single entity through the port. The size of the MTU dictates the amount of data that can be transmitted in bytes over a network.

Reference

Command

mtu <mtu val>

Description

Configure MTU in bytes

Parameters

Mtu value (MAX: 9100)

Mode

INTERFACE

Example

pbnoscli# configure terminal 
pbnoscli(config)# interface ethernet Ethernet1/1
pbnoscli(config-if)# mtu 
  <mtuval>              Mtu value (1..9100)
pbnoscli(config-if)# mtu 1600
pbnoscli(config-if)# 

You can verify the configuration by using the command(s) below:
