mtu with dhcp
 
is it possible to manually assign a mtu-value to an interface (in this case eth0) using dhcp? every reboot, the mtu need to be the corrected value. i've tried some things, but it was not... :-)

yes, there's the interface-mtu option in the standard DHCP rfc spec. all dhcp servers should support this.

edit /etc/network/interfaces like this:

Code:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
    hostname "mymachine"
    name LAN Interface
    pre-up /sbin/ifconfig $IFACE mtu 1492
thx!
