Re: changing MTU value of lan card

Hi,

You can change the mtu value using
#lanadmin -M PPA

You should edit the netowrk adapter configuration file in /etc/rc.config.d directory to make change parmanent.

Re: changing MTU value of lan card

HP-UX assumed... ;)

There are 2 steps:

ifconfig lan0 down (You will need to do this via the Console)
lanadmin -M 1400 0 (to change the size to 1400 instead of the 1500 default)
lanadmin -m 0 (to check)
ifconfig lan0 up

Then to make it permanent, you need to do the following:

Create a file with the following in /sbin/init.d/mtu :
**************************************
case $1 in
start_msg)
echo "Setting Network card lan0 MTU to 1400"
;;
'start')
/usr/sbin/lanadmin -M 1400 0
;;
*)
echo "Usage:"
/usr/sbin/lanadmin -?
;;
esac
**************************************

Then create the link

ln -s /sbin/init.d/mtu /sbin/rc2.d/S325MTU_CHANGE

You will need to reboot the server!

Re: changing MTU value of lan card

Hi,

you can use SAM interface (advanced options for network interface)
but SAM will permit the value to be changed if the hardware supports changes.

Second solution is setting PMTU (path maximum transmission unit) in routing table.

You can get informations from here,
http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/bizsupport/questionanswer.do?threadId=542486

We can not configure on /etc/rc.config.d/hpbtlanconf for mtu settings. Try to configure on SAM or with Init script.

You can configuration file informations as,

HTH.
