hwmtu N | Sets maximal Ethernet frame length sent to the parent interface. If not specified the system automatically determines the optimum value The radio frames are often longer than the standard Ethernet frame size, PRF interfaces using Ethernet as the transmission medium must split the jumbo frames into multiple pieces and reassemble them at their destination. To calculate the maximum frame size that can be transmitted over Ethernet, the system performs a range of measurements by sending special test packets with different lengths and determines the maximum length (hwmtu) that was successfully received by the destination device. The "hwmtu" parameter is measured for each neighbor, to display this value use the "mint map detail" command. Thus, when MINT based switching is activated, the "hwmtu" parameter is calculated automatically by the system, the value set manually will be overwritten. |
