Question Output of ifconfig

Code:
hme0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.1.2 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
hme1: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.2.2 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
nf0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 155.84.4.17 netmask ffff8000 broadcast 135.84.127.255
nf0:1: flags=843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 155.84.4.26 netmask ffff8000 broadcast 135.84.127.255


AFAIK, there is a config file to change the max MTU size for a device (i.e. NIC). I've seen it done in Linux and for the life of me, I can't remember how we used to handle larger packets in Solaris, as I've been away from Solaris 7 and antiquated infrastructure for over a decade now Smilie

We're running Solaris 7 on FDDI n/w on an E6500 host and wish to use MTU (packet size) > 1500, more like 3072 bytes to begin with and possibly up to 4096 bytes. Linux has /etc/network/interfaces.

eql_enslave(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    eql_enslave(8)

NAME
eql_enslave - enslave a network interface with a master interface SYNOPSIS
eql_enslave <master-name> <slave-name> <estimated-bps> DESCRIPTION
eql_enslave enslaves a PPP or SLIP network interface to another, named master interface or eql device. The MTU must match the MTU of your serial line device, otherwise, eql_enslave just fails when it is called. You have also to turn off Van- Jacobson compression on your slave devices. Once the eql device is configured, it will stay up and running until you shut it down manually or reboot. If you have the eql support com- piled as a module then all you have to do is to remove the module after downing the interface. Note that you have to connect to a terminal server capable of doing load balancing or another Linux box to use EQL. EXAMPLES
# Client Side EQL Driver Initialization ifconfig eql 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1500 eql_enslave eql ppp0 33600 eql_enslave eql ppp1 14400 eql_enslave eql ppp2 28800 SEE ALSO
