Path MTU Table
48.1 Path MTU Overview
This chapter introduces the IPv6 Path MTU table.
The largest size (in bytes) of a packet that can be transferred over a data link is called the
maximum transmission unit (MTU). The Switch uses Path MTU Discovery to discover Path MTU
(PMTU), that is, the minimum link MTU of all the links in a path to the destination. If the Switch
receives an ICMPv6 Packet Too Big error message after sending a packet, it fragments the next
packet according to the suggested MTU in the error message.
48.2 Viewing the Path MTU Table
Use this screen to view IPv6 path MTU information on the Switch. Click Management > Path MTU
