 If an IP packet exceeds the MTU set for the interface, the Cisco IOS software will fragment it.

All devices on a physical medium must have the same protocol MTU in order to operate.

> question regarding mtu on an interface and globally and how the 2<br>interact
with each other...
i think i know part of it but i don't<br>know which direction it works..

is it - if the interface exceeds<br>it's own mtu, then it will fragment
packets in accordance with the<br>system mtu? or is it the other way
around....
or....

is the<br>global mtu the default for all interfaces and the interface mtu just<br>
overrides the global<br>setting?

TIA
