Configure MTU Size on an Interface
In Dell Networking OS, Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is defined as the entire Ethernet packet (Ethernet header + FCS +
payload).
The link MTU is the frame size of a packet, and the IP MTU size is used for IP fragmentation. If the system determines that the IP
packet must be fragmented as it leaves the interface, Dell Networking OS divides the packet into fragments no bigger than the
size set in the ip mtu command.
NOTE: Because different networking vendors define MTU differently, check their documentation when planning MTU sizes
across a network.
The following table lists the range for each transmission media.
