Purpose
Command
Configures the maximum packet size for an interface,
where:
•
bytes
—
Specifies the maximum number of bytes
for a packet.
The default is 1500 bytes and the maximum
configurable MTU is 9216 bytes.
Router(config-if)#
mtu bytes
To return to the default MTU size, use the
no
form of the command.
Verifying the MTU Size
To verify the MTU size for an interface, use the
show interfaces gigabitethernet
privileged EXEC command
and observe the value shown in the
“
MTU
”
field.
The following example shows an MTU size of 1500 bytes for interface port 1 (the second port) on the Gigabit
Ethernet SPA installed in the top subslot (0) of the SIP that is located in slot 2 of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series
Routers:
