MTU 17867 bytes

Level 1

I have a series of routers (Cisco ISR 1811) that has defaulted to an MTU size of 17867. This only happens on tunnel interfaces, and seems to happen for all tunnel interfaces on that series router.  The MTU on my 2811 & 2821 all default to MTU 1514 bytes.

There is no MTU manully configured.  I have searched and can't find what would cause this.

Any thoughts?

Thank You

Hi,

This seems like a new bug the developers are already working on. Do these tunnels terminate on a concentrator?

Try "tunnel path-mtu-discovery"  on the virtual template and see if that fixes it. Anyways, this is a cosmetic issue and this does not reflect the real MTU of the interface
