14.2.9 ip mtu

This command sets the IP Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) on a routing interface.
The IP MTU is the size of the largest IP packet that can be transmitted on the interface
without fragmentation. The 7300 Series Managed Switch software currently does not
fragment IP packets.
• Packets forwarded in hardware ignore the IP MTU.
• Packets forwarded in software are dropped if they exceed the IP MTU of the outgoing
interface.
Packets originated on the router, such as OSPF packets, may be fragmented by the IP
stack. The IP stack uses its default IP MTU and ignores the value set using the ip mtu
command.
OSPF advertises the IP MTU in the Database Description packets it sends to its neighbors
during database exchange. If two OSPF neighbors advertise different IP MTUs, they will
not form an adjacency (unless OSPF has been instructed to ignore differences in IP MTU
with the ip ospf mtu-ignore command.)
Note: The IP MTU size refers to the maximum size of the IP packet (IP Header +
