Chapter 12 Configuring Interface Characteristics
Configuring the System MTU
–
In a mixed stack when you enter the
system mtu jumbo
command for the Fast Ethernet ports
on a Catalyst 3750 member
–
When you enter the
system mtu routing
command on a switch on which only Layer 2 ports are
configured
•
When you use the
system
mtu
bytes
or
system
mtu jumbo
bytes
command to change the system
MTU or system jumbo MTU size, you must reset the switch before the new configuration takes
effect. The
system mtu routing
command does not require a switch reset to take effect.
The system MTU setting is saved in the switch environmental variable in NVRAM and becomes
effective when the switch reloads. Unlike the system MTU routing configuration, the MTU settings
you enter with the
system mtu
and
system mtu jumbo
commands are not saved in the switch Cisco
IOS configuration file, even if you enter the
copy running-config startup-config
privileged EXEC
command. Therefore, if you use TFTP to configure a new switch by using a backup configuration
file and want the system MTU to be other than the default, you must explicitly configure the
system
mtu
and
system mtu jumbo
settings on the new switch and then reload the switch.
In a switch stack, the MTU values applied to the members depend on the stack configuration:
•
A stack consisting of only Catalyst 3750-X, Catalyst 3750-E, or Catalyst 3750 switches, also
referred to as a Catalyst 3750-X-only, Catalyst 3750-X-only, or Catalyst 3750-only stack
•
A stack consisting of Catalyst 3750-X and Catalyst 3750-E switches or either of these and
Catalyst 3750 switches, also referred to as a mixed hardware stack
shows how the MTU values are applied depending on the configuration.

System MTU Values
Configuration
system mtu command
system jumbo mtu command
system routing mtu command
Standalone Catalyst
3750-X, 3750-E, 3560-X
or 3560-E switch or
Catalyst 3750-X-only or
Catalyst 3750-E-only
stack
You can enter the command on
on a Catalyst 3750-X,
Catalyst 3750-E, Catalyst
3560-X, or Catalyst 3560-E
switch, but system MTU value
does not take effect.
1
1.
If you use the
system mtu
bytes
command on a Catalyst 3750-X or 3750-E member in a mixed hardware stack, the setting takes effect on the Fast Ethernet
ports of Catalyst 3750 members.
Use the
system mtu jumbo
bytes
command.
The range is from 1500 to 9198
bytes.
Use the
system mtu routing
bytes
command.
The range is from 1500 to the
system jumbo MTU value (in
bytes).
2
2.
The system routing MTU value is the applied value, not the configured value.
Mixed hardware stack
Use the
system mtu
bytes
command, which takes effect
only on Catalyst 3750
members.
The range is from 1500 to 1998
bytes.
Use the
system mtu jumbo
bytes
command.
The range is from 1500 to 9000
bytes.
Use the
system mtu routing
bytes
command.
The range is from 1500 to the
system MTU value (in bytes).
Catalyst 3750-only stack
Catalyst 3750 switch
Catalyst 3560 switch
Use the
system mtu
bytes
command.
The range is from 1500 to 1998
bytes.
Use the
system mtu jumbo
bytes
command.
The range is from 1500 to 9000
bytes.
Use the
system mtu routing
bytes
command.
The range is from 1500 to the
system MTU value (in bytes).
