Changing MTU on ESX host?

[stratolynne]

Hi all,

We moved our ESX hosts onto a network where the MTU needs to be 1400.

Can someone valid for me the commands to use to make this modification?

Do I need to do both ifconfig vswif0 mtu 1400 and esxcfg-vswitch vSwitch0 -m 1400?

Also is a restart of the network required for this to take effect?

Anything else I need to do?

Thanks.

all you need to do.

esxcfg-vswitch vSwitch0 -m 1400

why 1400? The default is 1500

We migrated to a new network where 1400 is the default.  We have since reverted all VMware back to 1500.

Thanks for your reply.
