Configure MTU Size on an Interface
In Dell Networking OS, Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is defined as the entire Ethernet packet
(Ethernet header + FCS + payload).
The link MTU is the frame size of a packet, and the IP MTU size is used for IP fragmentation. If the system
determines that the IP packet must be fragmented as it leaves the interface, Dell Networking OS divides
the packet into fragments no bigger than the size set in the ip mtu command.
NOTE: Because different networking vendors define MTU differently, check their documentation
when planning MTU sizes across a network.
The following table lists the range for each transmission media.

Link Bundle Monitoring
Link bundle monitoring is supported only on the platform.
Monitoring linked LAG bundles allows traffic distribution amounts in a link to be monitored for unfair
distribution at any given time. A threshold of 60% is defined as an acceptable amount of traffic on a
