Description This command configures the maximum payload MTU size for a port.
Packets received that are larger than the MTU will be fragmented or discarded, depending
on whether the DF bit is set in the packet header. If the port mode or encapsulation type is
changed, the MTU assumes the default values of the new mode or encapsulation type.
The no form of this command restores the default values.
Default The default MTU value depends on the port type, mode, and encapsulation as listed in the
following table.
Parameters mtu-bytes — sets the maximum allowable size of the MTU, expressed as an integer
Values 512 to 2090 bytes (see Table 29)
