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.
