Changing the IPv6 MTU

IPv6 MTU changes are performed on individual interfaces.

The following example configures the MTU of an IPv6 packet to be 1280 bytes for Ethernet interface 1/3/1.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/3/1
device(config-if-e1000-1/3/1)# ipv6 mtu 1280
Note: IPv6 MTU cannot be configured globally. It is supported only on devices running Layer 3 software.
