ifconfig will do it
Code:
# uname -sr
SunOS 5.10
# ifconfig e1000g1 | grep mtu
e1000g1: flags=1000802<BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 4
# ifconfig e1000g1 mtu 1400
# ifconfig e1000g1 | grep mtu
e1000g1: flags=1001000802<BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPv4,FIXEDMTU> mtu 1400 index 4

Cheers

Kernel parameter
Hi,
please create a file rge.conf under this folder: /kernel/drv !

The only entry:
default_mtu = 1234

I hope that after a reboot the system default MTU is set to 1234.
But please use an other value!Smilie

Please post the test!!!
I never test it by my self.

Best regards
joerg
