Chapter 7 Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces

Modifying MTU Size on the Interface

DETAILED STEPS

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

 

 

Enter your password if prompted.

 

Example:

 

 

Router> enable

 

Step 2

 

 

configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

 

Example:

 

 

Router# configure terminal

 

Step 3

 

 

interface gigabitethernet slot/port

Selects a Gigabit Ethernet interface and enters

 

 

interface configuration mode.

 

Example:

slot/port—Specifies the slot and port number.

 

Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1

 

Step 4

 

 

mtu bytes

Configures the MTU size for Gigabit Ethernet

 

 

interface.

 

Example:

bytes—The range is from 1500 to 9216. The

 

Router(config-if)# mtu 6000

default is 9216.

 

 

Note To set the MTU size to its default value, use

 

 

the no mtu or default mtu command.

 

 

 

Verifying the MTU Size

To verify the MTU size, use the show interface gigabitethernet and show interface mtu commands.

Router# show interface gigabitethernet 0/1 GigabitEthernet0/1 is up, line protocol is up (connected)

Hardware is Gigabit Ethernet, address is 4055.398d.bd05 (bia 4055.398d.bd05) MTU 6000 bytes, BW 1000000 Kbit/sec, DLY 10 usec,
