If a non-default value is configured, an MTU option is included in the
◆
router advertisements sent from this device.
◆
The maximum value set by this command cannot exceed the MTU of
the physical interface, which is currently fixed at 1500 bytes.
◆
IPv6 routers do not fragment IPv6 packets forwarded from other
routers. However, traffic originating from an end-station connected to
an IPv6 router may be fragmented.
All devices on the same physical medium must use the same MTU in
◆
order to operate correctly.
IPv6 must be enabled on an interface before the MTU can be set.

The following example sets the MTU for VLAN 1 to 1280 bytes:
Console(config)#interface vlan 1
Console(config-if)#ipv6 mtu 1280
