System Mtu - Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3130 Reference Manual

system mtu

system mtu
Use the system mtu global configuration command on the switch stack or on a standalone switch to set
the maximum packet size or maximum transmission unit (MTU) size for Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000)
ports,for 10-Gigabit ports, or for routed ports. Use the no form of this command to restore the global
MTU value to its default value.
Syntax Description
bytes
jumbo bytes
routing bytes
Defaults
The default MTU size for all ports is 1500 bytes.
The default value for the system routing MTU is the system MTU value.

Usage Guidelines
The switch does not support the MTU on a per-interface basis.
When you use the system mtu jumbo bytes command to change the system MTU or system jumbo MTU
size, you must reset the switch before the new configuration takes effect. The system mtu routing
command does not require a switch reset to take effect.
The system MTU jumbo setting is saved in the switch environmental variable in NVRAM and becomes
effective when the switch reloads. Unlike the system MTU routing configuration, the MTU settings that
you enter with the system mtu jumbo command is not saved in the switch Cisco IOS configuration file,
even if you enter the copy running-config startup-config privileged EXEC command. Therefore, if you

system mtu {bytes | jumbo bytes | routing bytes}
no system mtu [jumbo | routing]
In a mixed hardware stack, change the MTU size for all interfaces.
Note
Set the system MTU for Gigabit Ethernet ports and 10-Gigabit Ethernet
ports. The system jumbo MTU is the maximum MTU received at the Gigabit
Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports.
The range is from 1500 to 9198 bytes.
Set the maximum MTU for routed packets. You can also set the maximum
MTU to be advertised by the routing protocols that support the configured
MTU size. The system routing MTU is the maximum MTU for routed
packets and is also the maximum MTU that the switch advertises in routing
updates for protocols such as OSPF.
The range is from 1500 to the system jumbo MTU value (in bytes).
