Hello gents,

Can you guys help me?
here's the scenario:

SwitchA--------802.1q-------Router-----------T1------------Router-------802.1q--------SwitchB

I tried to configure the router to bridge 802.1q accross from swtich A to
switch B. The routers ethernet interface are hardcoded with 1500 MTU, so
when lardge packets are passed through, the 802.1q header makes increase
the size of the packet over 1500 bytes and the packet is dropped. Seems
like the only cisco equipment that allows changing the MTU on ethernet is a
GSR, which is too expensive to carry T1.

Is there any other version of the IOS or hardware that allows MTU size to
be manipulated over the 1500 bytes limit on ethernet interface on routers?

Is there another vendor with a router that supports both a T1 interface and
allow MTU to be changed?

thanks in advance.
