Modifying MTU Defaults

MTU parameters must be modified on the service level as well as the port level.

The default MTU values must be modified to ensure that packets are not dropped because of frame size limitations. The service MTU must be less than or equal to both the SAP port MTU and the SDP path MTU values. When an SDP is configured on a network port using default port MTU values, the operational path MTU can be less than the service MTU. In this case, enter the show service sdp command to check the operational state. If the operational state is down, then modify the MTU value accordingly.
