Hi Proxmox Users,

I learned from the Proxmox forum that appending mtu=1 to the network definition of a virtual machine instructs the virtual ethernet device to inherit the mtu from the corresponding bridge.

In my case

net0: virtio=FA:FF:FF:FF:FF:D8,bridge=vmbr15,mtu=1

and the bridge definition

iface vmbr15 inet static
         address 10.21.15.11/24
         bridge-ports enp35s0.4015
         bridge-stp off
         bridge-fd 0
         bridge-vlan-aware yes
         bridge-vids 2-4094
         mtu 1400

According to my tests this seams to work indeed. The guest OS shows the 1400 mtu.

Question 1: Can the mtu=1 (magic value for auto mtu inheritance) be made  > the 
default?

probably not because of backwards compatibility (live-migration etc.)
but maybe we could (should?) either add it as default for
new vms in the webui, or expose it as a gui field

would you mind opening a feature request? https://bugzilla.proxmox.com


Question 2: It seams that appending mtu=1 breaks the webUI. I get "Unable to parse network options".

thanks for reporting, i sent a patch on the devel list to fix that


Kind Regards
ppa. Martin Konold
