MTU Change C7200-I/O-2FE/E

Anybody knows if the MTU for the FastEthernet interface on the C7200-I/O-2FE/E can be changed ?

I'm planning on implementing MPLS/VPNs using the FA Port as a MPLS Trunk and I need to change de MTU.

Hi,

Not so sure about this on FastEthernet on any cisco routers, I've tried to change the MTU size but couldn't, perhaps required to specific IOS?

regards,

maher

Have you tried using the IP MTU and MPLS MTU commands?

These two commands should allow you to adjust the MTU for unlabeled IP packets (IP MTU) and labeled packets (MPLS MTU).

IP MTU Command Reference:

MPLS MTU Command Reference:

Hope this helps.

Hi

As I know you can't change the MTU on I/O card. You should use PAs to increase MTU.

After you change MTU (layer2) you are allowed to give more tag-switching MTU.

I hope this help.

Hello,

FastEthernet interfaces on C7200 do not support user settable mtu.

In MPLS environment you can overcome this issue by configuring "mpls mtu" under interface configuration mode. The mpls mtu can be higher than the physical mtu. On C7200 with your IOS version you can use either "mpls mtu", or "tag-switching mtu" command

!

interface FastEthernet0/1
mpls label protocol ldp
tag-switching mtu 1512
tag-switching ip

!

After configuration, you can check the mpls mtu using "show mpls interfaces FastEthernet0/1 detail" command.
