Thanks, this solved a slow router issue on a 11.1 box
Very odd for sure
I don't recall it happening on my 11.0 firewall. I wonder what changed and why the default 1500 no longer works?
The default MTU works very well here (new 11.3 vanilla+updates) - I have not tested forwarding speed between two interfaces though, but the default MTU still works fine. Before you set your MTU manually, presumably in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ethx, do you know if MTU was set any differently on the interface?
The default also works well on my main computer, which is connected to the firewall via a switch. I used the network settings in Yast to set the two interfaces to 1500. Prior to that, I hadn't set any interface MTU. I've just checked another system where I have not set the mtu and I see this in the ifcfg-eth0 file: MTU=' ' On a system with it set, it has: MTU='1500' ifconfig shows: UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1. As this indicates, the default is 1500. I'll have to do some experimenting, to see which interface is causing the problem. BTW, someone else sent a note saying they also had experienced this problem on an 11.1 router. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
