Parameters

vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies the MPLS L3VPN instance that the Path MTU belongs to. The vpn-instance-name argument is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. If the Path MTU is for the public network, do not specify this option.

ipv6-address: IPv6 address.

value: Specifies the Path MTU of the specified IPv6 address, in the range of 1280 to 10240 bytes.

Usage guidelines

You can configure a static Path MTU for a destination IPv6 address. When a source host sends a packet through an interface, it compares the interface MTU with the static Path MTU of the specified destination IPv6 address. If the packet size is larger than the smaller one of the two values, the host fragments the packet according to the smaller value.

Examples
