How do I find my MTU size Cisco?

Hello, just wanted to clarify my knowledge on MTU. IP MTU: is calculating LAYER 3 HEADER + ITS PAYLOAD, which makes max MTU of 1500. MTU: ETHERNET HEADER + LAYER 3 HEADER + ITS PAYLOAD, which makes 1514 mtu if no mpls, no tags are used.

How do I find the MTU on a Cisco switch?

Configure:

  1. Use the system mtu command to change the MTU for all 10/100 interfaces.
  2. 3750(config)# system mtu 1546.
  3. Use the system mtu jumbo command to change the MTU for all Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
  4. 3750(config)# system mtu jumbo 9000.
  5. Use the show system mtu command to view the mtu sizes after reload.

What is the difference between MTU and IP MTU?

The first MTU value is the interface MTU, it’s 1500 bytes by default for Ethernet. The second one is the IP MTU which is also 1500 bytes. Once you get above 1500 bytes your router will start fragmenting the IP packets. In the ping above you can see that the largest packet that I can send is 1500 bytes.

What is the correct MTU size?

In most cases, the optimal value (for a home Internet router) is going to be 1500. If your router already shows an MTU value of 1500, you probably won’t be able to gain any additional benefit by performing this test. The switches used in this command are case-sensitive.

What is MTU in Cisco switch?

Information about the MTU The default maximum transmission unit (MTU) size for frames received and sent on all switch interfaces is 1500 bytes. You can change the MTU size to support switched jumbo frames on all Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and to support routed frames on all routed ports.
