Attention: The MTU value of the network must
match the value configured on the switch port the
node is connected to. Otherwise, network
performance issues or packet loss might occur.

Attention: For the best network performance, all
nodes should be configured with similar MTU values
on their Grid Network interfaces. The Grid Network
MTU mismatch alert is triggered if there is a
significant difference in MTU settings for the Grid
Network on individual nodes. The MTU values do
not have to be the same for all network types.

3. When you are satisfied with the settings, select Save.

4. Reboot the node. From the StorageGRID Appliance Installer, select Advanced > Reboot
