I think this is what you need but I did not verify it on my Solaris box beforehand:
disable PMTUD: # ndd -set /dev/ip ip_path_mtu_discovery 0 set maximum MSS to 1460: # ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_mss_max 1460 You can enumerate the options to change by using ndd as well. $ man ndd --- Cory Stoker ClearNet Security On Oct 12, 2005, at 10:28 AM, hpalmer () comsquared com wrote:
Recently a customer of ours has been having an issue w/ remote login from multiple customers on there network. Our company installed, configured and setup A Sun Fire V250. The issue, there NetAdmin states, "Our customers are not able to login to your /our Sun Box because the MTU is at the default setting of 1500 and needs to be 1480 or 1460." This I (System Database Admin) believe is totally wrong. But to prove a point I would like to check the current settings and make changes if needed. I read some where before that the changes could be made in /etc/ networks/interfaces, but not able to locate that directory...any suggestions? Do or do not, there is no try. -Yoda.
