TCPIP (UCX) MTU adjustments?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Can you change mtu settings in ucx from 1500 to 576?

The Answer is :

 
  Commands such as (TCPIP or UCX):
 
    SET CONFIGURATION COMMUNICATIONS/TYPE=ETHERNET
 
  are used to change the MTU.
 
  If you need to restrict the size, use (TCPIP or UCX):
 
    SET PROTOCOL TCP /NOMTU_SIZE_SEGMENT
 
  to keep the segment size from exceeding 576 octets when routing
  to non-local subnets.  (This is the default.)
 
  After changing, TCP/IP Services must be restarted.
