ipv6 mtu This command sets the size of the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for IPv6
packets sent on an interface. Use the no form to restore the default setting.
Syntax

Default Setting
1500 bytes

Interface Configuration (VLAN)
Command Usage
â—† The maximum value set by this command cannot exceed the MTU of the
physical interface, which is currently fixed at 1500 bytes.
â—† IPv6 routers do not fragment IPv6 packets forwarded from other routers.
However, traffic originating from an end-station connected to an IPv6 router
may be fragmented.
â—† All devices on the same physical medium must use the same MTU in order to
operate correctly.
â—† IPv6 must be enabled on an interface before the MTU can be set.
