MTU error message

[bevans]

I have a CAT6509 with MPLS.. two redundant MSFC2 blades. Whenever I go in to configure one of the MSFC's I get the message:

%MROUTE-4-MTU_MISMATCH : WARNING: With IP multicast enabled, interfaces which transmit traffic from larger to smaller MTU interfaces may not be hardware switched due to fragmentation. A degradation in performance may occur.

According to Cisco:

Explanation This warning message provides information about transmitting traffic from larger to smaller MTU interfaces.

Recommended Action Set MTU values on all interfaces to be identical to avoid fragmentation.

I am not sure what to do about this because I do not see any specific MTU settings. Can someone help me with this?

you need to check the mroute table.

Check the oil list.Foreach oil check the MTU with "shwo ip int " command.That should give a clue to you.

Thank you for your posting. I did as you recommended and all interfaces are set to MTU of 1500 - the default I believe. Any other thoughts?

I contacted Cisco directly and it turns out this is a "debug" type message and I do not have to worry about it. Just an FYI for anyone who reads this.
