# Configure MTU Size

It makes sense to set the MTU size from 1500 to 9000 for Ethernet connections with a bandwidth of 10Gb/sec or above.

### Procedure 1

* In the Control Panel, select Network and Internet > Network Connections > Change Adapter Settings

* Click OK.
* Deactivate and activate the network connection
* If you have changed the MTU size for adapters that belong to a LACP channel deactivate and activate all virtual adapters that run on the LACP channel.
* Close Network Connections
* Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
* Use the netsh command to show the index (Idx) and MTU of each network interface.
* Execute the following command:

```
netsh interface ipv4 show interface
```

Output:

```
Idx     Met         MTU          State                Name
---  ----------  ----------  ------------  ---------------------------
  1          75  4294967295  connected     Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1
 11           5        1500  disconnected  Embedded NIC 2
 16          25        1500  connected     EmbeddedNIC1_VL77
  9          10        9000  connected     50GE_Teaming_Interface - VLAN 1
 17          10        9000  connected     50GE_Teaming_Interface - VLAN 2
 15          10        9000  connected     50GE_Teaming_Interface - VLAN 3
  4          10        9000  connected     50GE_Teaming_Interface - VLAN 4
 10          10        9000  connected     50GE_Teaming_Interface - VLAN 5
```

Make sure, that the MTU is shown as 9000 for a desired connections

### Procedure 2

Open Command Prompt as an administrator.

Execute the following command:

```
netsh interface ipv4 show interface
```

Output:

```
Idx     Met         MTU          State                Name
---  ----------  ----------  ------------  ---------------------------
  1          75  4294967295  connected     Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1
 11           5        1500  disconnected  Embedded NIC 2
 16          25        1500  connected     EmbeddedNIC1_VL77
  9          10        1500  connected     50GE_Teaming_Interface - VLAN 1
 17          10        1500  connected     50GE_Teaming_Interface - VLAN 2
 15          10        1500  connected     50GE_Teaming_Interface - VLAN 3
  4          10        1500  connected     50GE_Teaming_Interface - VLAN 4
 10          10        1500  connected     50GE_Teaming_Interface - VLAN 5
```

Verify the index (idx) if the desired network connection

If the MTU is 9000, then no action is necessary. If it is not, execute the following command

```
netsh interface ipv4 set interface 4 mtu=9000
```

Verify the set value

```
netsh interface ipv4 show interface
```
