Thats not needed, try to ping with 1500bytes with flag do not fragment and you will see that it works. Only time you need to increase MTU is for QinQ, MPLS etc. Take a look at this page: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps663/products_tech_note09186a00801350c8.shtml#topic2 _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
