request time out observed.

Hi,

When I ping from Desktop to switch(10.0.16.5) using command ping -t 10.0.16.5 ,ping is successfull.

However when i ping with high packet length

(1500) using command ping -t 10.0.16.5 -l 1500 i get request time out.

What could be the reason for this.

Regards,

Minal

somewhere in the path your mtu size is less than 1500. the mtu size is exceeded and the ping is dropped , With a regular ping the MTU is most likely 64 bytes
