PPPOE with MTU higher than 1492 (rfc-4638)

Hi,

It looks like MTU values higher than 1492 are not supported on my current version 9.201-23

Can anyone please advise if this is supposed to be like this as I read it was already implemented on previous versions.

(Support PPPoE RFC 4638 (MTU > 1492))

If not, is there any way to set the MTU value permanently on the ppp0 interfaz?

thanks in advance

Hi,

Changing the value from the GUI does not actually change the value.

You can double check by going to terminal and doing an ifconfig.
If you instead change the value from the GUI to something lower than 1492 then it accepts that value.

ppp0      Link encap[:P]oint-to-Point Protocol
          inet addr:x.x.x.x  P-t-P:x.x.x.x  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1492  Metric:1

Can anyone please confirm if this is a BUG or if there is a way (by running a script) to force 1500 automatically after a ppp session disconnect

thanks
