1400-byte IP MTU + 22-byte VLAN Tag = 1422-byte link MTU
The following table lists the various Layer 2 overheads found in Dell Networking OS and the number of bytes.
The MTU range is from 592 to 9216, with a default of 9216. IP MTU automatically configures.

Link MTU and IP MTU considerations for port channels and VLANs are as follows.
Port Channels
:
• All members must have the same link MTU value and the same IP MTU value.
• The port channel link MTU and IP MTU must be less than or equal to the link MTU and IP MTU values
configured on the channel members.
For example, if the members have a link MTU of 2100 and an IP MTU 2000, the port channel’s MTU values
cannot be higher than 2100 for link MTU or 2000 bytes for IP MTU.
VLANs
:
• All members of a VLAN must have the same IP MTU value.
• Members can have different Link MTU values. Tagged members must have a link MTU 4–bytes higher
than untagged members to account for the packet tag.
• The VLAN link MTU and IP MTU must be less than or equal to the link MTU and IP MTU values
configured on the VLAN members.
For example, the VLAN contains tagged members with Link MTU of 1522 and IP MTU of 1500 and untagged
members with Link MTU of 1518 and IP MTU of 1500. The VLAN’s Link MTU cannot be higher than 1518 bytes
and its IP MTU cannot be higher than 1500 bytes.
Port-Pipes
A port pipe is a Dell Networking-specific term for the hardware packet-processing elements that handle
network traffic to and from a set of front-end I/O ports. The physical, front-end I/O ports are referred to as a
port-set
. In the command-line interface, a port pipe is entered as
port-set
port-pipe-number
.
