For ATM L3 sub interface, mtu is as follows:
•
SNAP - L3 datagram + 8 bytes
•
NLPID - L3 datagram + 2 bytes
•
MUX - L3datagram + 0 bytes
•
When no pvc is configured under sub interface - L3datagram + 0 bytes
You can use the show interfaces command to determine if the MTU value has been changed. The show
interfaces command output displays the MTU size for each interface in the MTU (byte) field. Note that the
MTU size that is displayed includes the Layer 2 header bytes used for each encapsulation type.

Note
Changing the MTU on an interface triggers a change on the protocols and encapsulations configured on
that interface, although some protocol-specific configurations can override the interface MTU. For example,
specifically changing the interface MTU configuration does not affect the IP MTU configuration, but may
affect the resulting MTU on that node.
Note
For the 10x10GigE CPAK (10 ports with only 8 profiles), it is not possible to support 10 different MTUs
on 10 different 10GigE ports. One of the profiles needs to be reserved for the default MTU, in case you
need to change the configured MTU back to the default MTU. Therefore on the 10x10g CPAK, you can
configure different MTU sizes on 7 ports and the other 3 ports have the default MTU size. If you configure
the 8th port, the configuration command succeeds but an error appears on the console.
