Setting the interface MTU
IPv6 routers do not support packet fragmentation. If the size of a packet exceeds the MTU of the output interface, the router discards the packet and sends a packet too big message to the source host. The source host fragments the packet according to the MTU. To avoid this situation, set a proper interface MTU.
To set the interface MTU:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter interface view. | interface interface-type interface-number | N/A |
3. Set the interface MTU. | ipv6 mtu size | By default, no interface MTU is set. |
