pings over 1470 bytes fail

have core4* 6509, with msfc2 30'ish vlans gig connected to 4k switches and 100 meg to remote site with 4k l3 switch. and 2924's all mtu,s are set to 1500. I am fishing for clues? the 4 k ca ping a local workstation with 1500 byte pings and the I can ping a server from a dos pc at the core with 1500 byte packets but not from the 4k to the core server? have I missed an incompatability?

Looks like you are using some tunnel protocol on the link to the remote site.

The encapsulation overhead from the tunnel reduces your MTU-size.

Unfortunately, from the posting, it is not clear how the the link is set up exactly.

Is it bridged or routed? Do you include VLAN-info over this link? This is not specified in the description.

Therefore this is an estimated guess, based on my own experiences with tunneling.

you might have hit that on the head.

I have drawn a simple diagram. The netw was ok using a now disconnected 2 meg serial link. The 2600 other serial supports a dlsw controller. The c/m connected a 100 meg base tx ther are two vlans on the and the 4k router is routing them see cfg below.

I have found out that from the 4k router I can ping any size at all to a server 10.142.232.1, but from the cat 4k switch an extended ping fails with >1470 bytes. At the bottom I have appended the dlsw roter config.
