Hello,

I am not able ping server with packet greater than 1492B. I´m using 3G modem configured as bridge and I used PPPoE to dial connection. It looks like it do not fragment packet. 

interface FastEthernet4
 no ip address
 ip tcp adjust-mss 1452
 duplex auto
 speed auto
 pppoe enable
 pppoe-client dial-pool-number 2
end

interface Dialer2
 description ### GSM DIALER ###
 mtu 1492
 ip address negotiated
 encapsulation ppp
 ip tcp adjust-mss 1452
 dialer pool 2
 ppp authentication pap chap callin
 ppp pap sent-username internet password 0 internet

 

 

router#ping 8.8.8.8 size 1492
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 1492-byte ICMP Echos to 8.8.8.8, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 100/116/136 ms

router#ping 8.8.8.8 size 1493
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 1493-byte ICMP Echos to 8.8.8.8, timeout is 2 seconds:
.....
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)

Do you have any idea how to solve this issue?

 

Thank you,

Ales

Hi

pppoe is 1518 - 18byte header - 8 byte pppoe = 1492

your config looks right and thats the expected result , mtu has to be 1492 or lower for pppoe

Increase that mtu and you will have issues with tcp connections like loading some websites etc 

Are you having issues now the way its setup ?
