Hi Kerry. Wouldn't increasing the mtu value decrease over head? Because I am trying to raise the value to 10000 or something, not lower it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kerry Hoath <kerry@xxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 6:46 AM Subject: Re: mtu > I can't see why you'd want to do this on an ethernet > interface anyway since ethernet is tuned to handle mtu of 1500 and reducing it > is just going to increase wire overhead and do nothing more. > MTU discovery means that if something else has a lower mtu this will be communicated back > to the kernel and th e networking stack will take care of it. > Well just because I don't know why you want to do this doesn't mean it can't be done. > Once the route to the interface is in place you need to del the route and re-add it > with the mtu value so for example: > route del 192.168.1.0 > route add -net 192.168.1.0 dev eth0 mtu 768 > and I think the ip tools can do this too > try ip route help > and > ip nei help > > Regards, Kerry. > On Mon, Mar 25, 2002 at 08:19:13PM -0500, Igor Gueths wrote: > > Hi. Has anyone successfully changed their mtu value on their network interface? I am unable to do this via /etc/network/interfaces. I put mtu 1000 after the line where it says iface eth0 inet dhcp. I restarted inetd and init, and the value hasn't changed. Does anyone know how to go about doing this?
