Configuring a static path MTU for a specific IPv6 address

Page 140 highlights

Step Command 3. Configure the interface MTU. ipv6 mtu mtu-size Remarks By default, no interface MTU is configured. This command does not take effect on an IPv6 multicast packet for a switch does not check the packet size of an IPv6 multicast packet. Configuring a static path MTU for a specific IPv6 address You can configure a static path MTU for an IPv6 address. Before sending a packet to the IPv6 address, the device compares the MTU of the output interface with the static path MTU. If the packet exceeds the smaller one of the two values, the device fragments the packet according to the smaller value. After sending the fragmented packets, the device dynamically finds the path MTU to a destination host (see "IPv6 path MTU discovery"). To configure a static path MTU for a destination IPv6 address: Step 1. Enter system view. Command system-view 2. Configure a static path MTU ipv6 pathmtu [ vpn-instance for a destination IPv6 address. vpn-instance-name ] ipv6-address value Remarks N/A No path MTU is configured for any IPv6 address by default. Configuring the aging time for dynamic path MTUs After the device dynamically finds the path MTU to a destination host (see "IPv6 path MTU discovery"), it sends packets to the destination host based on the path MTU and starts an aging timer. When the aging timer expires, the device removes the dynamic path MTU and finds the path MTU again. The aging time is invalid for a static path MTU. To configure the aging time for dynamic path MTUs: Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Configure the aging time for dynamic path MTUs. Command system-view ipv6 pathmtu age age-time Remarks N/A The default setting is 10 minutes. Controlling sending ICMPv6 packets This section describes how to configure ICMPv6 packet sending. 132

By default, no interface MTU is

This command does not take effect on
an IPv6 multicast packet for a switch

IPv6 multicast packet.
Configuring a static path MTU for a specific IPv6 address
You can configure a static path MTU for an IPv6 address. Before sending a packet to the IPv6 address,
the device compares the MTU of the output interface with the static path MTU. If the packet exceeds the
smaller one of the two values, the device fragments the packet according to the smaller value. After
sending the fragmented packets, the device dynamically finds the path MTU to a destination host (see
"
IPv6 path MTU discovery
").
To configure a static path MTU for a destination IPv6 address:

value
No path MTU is configured for any
IPv6 address by default.
Configuring the aging time for dynamic path MTUs
After the device dynamically finds the path MTU to a destination host (see "
IPv6 path MTU discovery
"),
it sends packets to the destination host based on the path MTU and starts an aging timer. When the
aging timer expires, the device removes the dynamic path MTU and finds the path MTU again.
The aging time is invalid for a static path MTU.
