Chapter 2 Cisco ME 3400 Ethernet Access Switch Cisco IOS Commands
For example, if the system mtu value is 1998 bytes and the system mtu jumbo value is 5000 bytes,
packets up to 5000 bytes can be received on interfaces operating at 1000 Mb/s. However, although a
packet larger than 1998 bytes can be received on an interface operating at 1000 Mb/s, if its destination
interface is operating at 10 or 100 Mb/s, the packet is dropped.
Examples This example shows how to set the maximum packet size for Gigabit Ethernet ports to 1800 bytes:
Switch(config)# system mtu jumbo 1800
Switch(config)# exit
Switch# reload
This example shows how to set the maximum packet size for Gigabit Ethernet ports to 1800 bytes, to
define an alternate MTU size of 1700 bytes and apply it to Gigabit Ethernet port 0/8. Changes are not
applied until you reload the switch:
Switch(config)# system mtu jumbo 1800
Switch(config)# system mtu alternate 1700
Changes to the Alternate MTU will not take effect until the next reload is done
Switch(config)# system mtu alternate interface gigabitethernet 0/8
Changes to the Alternate MTU on interface will not take effect until the next re
load is done
Switch(config)# exit
Switch# reload
This example shows how to apply the alternate MTU to Gigabit Ethernet interfaces 1 to 10. Changes are
not applied until you reload the switch:
Switch(config)# system mtu alternate interface range gigabitethernet 0/1-10
Changes to the Alternate MTU on interface(s) will not take effect until the next reload is done
Switch(config)# exit
You can verify your setting by entering the show system mtu or show interface interface-id mtu
privileged EXEC command.
