In r18 EAP2 it is still not possible to set the MTU value on a vlan interface. This is very urgent for us, because most Customers have a xDSL ISP Connection with MTU of 1460. This is the only reason why we don't change from UTM to XG

Maybe i am wrong, but you can actually do this for a long time in XG.
We are talking about VDSL?
You could use a physical interface, setup as WAN + PPPOE, select VDSL (add the VLAN TAG), and change the MTU Size to 1460.

Hello Lucar,
This has never been possible as the VLAN is directly tied to the interface it is sat on and has no further config than just IP, VLAN ID, Zone and IP. If it is possible it's not exposed to the GUI?
Could you expand why you think so?
Emile
So the XDSL setup is not using any kind of PPPoE? Only getting the IP from the provider/ISP by using the correct VLAN Tag?
Most customers, i know, using VLANs on WAN are using VDSL.
Especially if you want to change the MTU, seems like, they are using PPPoE or am i completely wrong? Correct me, if i am wrong, but you can actually use this kind of VDSL with XG since V17

Hi LuCar
Yes, this is possible on a physical interface. But when i create a link aggregation with all Subnets as VLAN Interfaces on this LAG i don't have the option. When i now need an MTU of 1460 on a VLAN Interface i have to contact the technical support. The edit a startupfile to do that. When you do this only in the console, the setting is lost after next reboot.
Because of this it's not usable for us to call every time to the support. We would do this by our self.
Best Regards,
Rene
Thats the missing point, you are using LAG and tagging a PPPOE on this VLAN?
Or why do you use MTU1460 on a Interface?
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yes, we have a xDSL Modem on a Switch (VLAN 1000) and also the VLAN1000 on the LAG. But the VLAN Interface is not PPPoE it is static. and on this i have to change the MTU to 1460. It works fine with the correction in the startup file.
Hi Lucar,
He said why they use 1460, it's required for the xDSL connection. MTU of 1460 is not uncommon for any PPP connections, especially in the UK.
LAG-ing a bunch of ports and tying everything through a highly resilient switch configuration is also not unusual.
Emile
Just wanted to make sure, we are not talking about simple VDSL.
I am not quite sure, if this is covered by EAP3, because there are some changes to VLAN etc.
PMParth Could give some insight?
