OSPF 'ip ospf mtu-ignore' Question

JohnTylerPearce

Hey Guys,

If I have a router with 3 sub interfaces off of a GigabitEthernet interface which is directly connected to a switch via a trunk, would I need to set 'ip ospf mtu-ignore'?

I'm assuming that if I'm running subinterfaces using dot1q, that the mtu in the DBD packets will be 1504 and which it hits either a router port on a L3 switch or a SVI it would be 1500?

John the router's subinterface and the switch's trunk should "hide" the VLAN tags.  I.e. there shouldn't be any need for mtu-ignore (as least I never recall a need for it on such configurations).

Thanks for this response, I appreciate it. I was a little curious as to how that would work.
