SET MTU ON VCS

[Chet Cronin]

Does anyone know where and what command to set the MTU size on the VCS Control??? I need to change it from 1500 to 1300.

Thank you.

Hi Chet,

login to root on the VCS and run the below command.

# ifconfig eth0 mtu 1300

to make the change permanent modify the file '/etc/network/interfaces' using vi command and make an entry "mtu 1300".

below is the command when i did on my vcs and when i read the same file using "cat" command.

~ # cat /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0

iface eth0 inet static

    address 10.106.93.178

    netmask 255.255.255.192

    network 10.106.93.128

    up /sbin/ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on

    mtu 1300

after making the changes you can just reboot the machine.

To verify run the command 'ifconfig eth0' and verify the mtu size.

Hi Chet,

when you login as root run the command 'pwd'. you should see a output like this.

~ # pwd

/tandberg

if you are not in '/tandberg'  then you have to first go in that and then do the above steps.
