remote setmtu

Sets the maximum transfer unit for the remote interface.

To see the current MTU size for an active remote that is doing IP routing, use the ipifs command. To change the MTU for an Ethernet interface, use the command eth mtu.

If the protocol in use is PPP, you can see the MRU and MTU sizes using the command mlp show. The MRU is the maximum receive unit. Other information in the mlp show output includes the maxtu (the maximum packet size that can be sent; it is based on the peer’s MRU size), the ourmru (the maximum PPP packet size that can be received if multilink is not running), and ourmrru (the maximum PPP packet size that can be received if multilink is running).
