You can configure the MTU (maximum transmission unit) at the system level or at the physical port level for Layer 2, IPv4, and IPv6.
Tip
In SLX-OS, you can use the show interface ethernet command to see the MTU configuration for an interface.
You can change the MTU for one or more IP addresses or for a Fabric name. For more configuration examples, see the Extreme Fabric Automation Command Reference.
This example configures the MTU on multiple IP addresses.
