Hi, I have a problem using a BRouter when tranfering large packets out the Ethernet port (> 1400bytes). The problem seems to be related to bad timing on the router (after extensive testing i am pretty sure this is the probl em). We'll get the router fixed so that is fine. However, I do have the following question. - I do know that we are suppose to use the same MTU for all device on the ethern et. However, assuming all devices on the ethernet use 1500 as the MTU, could I set the Brouter Ethernet port MTU to be < 1400 to avoid the pro blem with the large packets ??? Is the MTU config on the router used ONLY for outgoing packets ??? If it is the case then I think I could make it work until we get the router replaced. Can somebody tell me if this is possible ? Tx Michel

Hi Here is a response I have got from the Cisco newsgroup : >You cannot change the mtu on an ethernet interface. You can change >the protocol mtu (IP) and it is only used on output, but that doesn't >help you for other protocols. So I assume that if I use Ip only, this should be able to solve my problem temporarily. Michel | |||||

Michel,
Also be sure to see notes 1189/1251 for a possible ECO for a large packet
corruption problem...
