Monitoring and Maintaining the Interfaces
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change MTU size for all 10/100 or Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
system mtu bytes
Step 3
system mtu jumbo bytes
Step 4
system mtu routing bytes
Step 5
end
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
Step 7
reload
If you enter a value that is outside the allowed range for the specific type of interface, the value is not
accepted.
Once the switch reloads, you can verify your settings by entering the show system mtu privileged EXEC
command.
This example shows how to set the maximum packet size for a Gigabit Ethernet port to 1800 bytes:
Switch(config)# system jumbo mtu 1800
Switch(config)# exit
Switch# reload
This example shows the response when you try to set Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to an out-of-range
number:
Switch(config)# system mtu jumbo 25000

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
(Optional) Change the MTU size for all interfaces on
the switch that are operating at 10 or 100 Mb/s. The
range is 1500 to 1998 bytes; the default is 1500 bytes.
(Optional) Change the MTU size for all Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces on the switch. The range is 1500 to
9000 bytes; the default is 1500 bytes.
(Optional) Change the system MTU for routed ports.
The range is 1500 to the system MTU value, the
maximum MTU that can be routed for all ports.
Although larger packets can be accepted, they cannot be
routed.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Save your entries in the configuration file.
Reload the operating system.
