Configuring Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) Settings
The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the largest IP datagram that can be transferred using
a specific link. If a packet exceeds the MTU size set on a specific interface, the network device
can fragment the packet or, if permitted, send a Path MTU request to the host in question. The
host should accept the request and send smaller packets that do not exceed the MTU limit. You
can only configure MTU settings on the physical interfaces of the appliance.
Use the
set interface command with the mtu option to set the MTU size for a specific interface:
set interface {interface name} mtu {size}
Example: Setting the MTU Size on the eth1 Interface to 1450
set interface eth1 mtu 1450
save
GUI Example: Setting the MTU Size on the ETH1 Interface to 1450
1.
Select Network > Interface > Edit (for eth1)
2.
Enter the following, then click
Apply
:
Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU): 1450
[NOTE]
The default MTU size set for each interface is 1500. It is recommended that the MTU size on the
eth1 interface matches the MTU size of the next hop router.
Configuring Interface Link Up/Down
Use the
set interface command with the phy option to set the state of any physical or logical
interface to up or down:
set interface {interface name} phy link-up
set interface {interface name} phy link-down
Example: Changing the eth0 Interface State to Down
set interface eth0 phy link-down
