The
SetMTU
WMI class static method is used to set the default Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) for a network interface. The MTU is the maximum packet size (in bytes) that a transport will transmit over the underlying network. The size includes the transport header.
Note that an IP datagram can span multiple packets. Values larger than the default for the underlying network result in the transport using the network default MTU. Values smaller than 68 result in the transport using an MTU of 68.
Windows Server 2003: This method is not supported. No replacement exists and the values do not correspond to the intended purpose of the method.
This topic uses Managed Object Format (MOF) syntax. For more information about using this method, see
Calling a Method.
Syntax
uint32 SetMTU(
uint32 MTU
);
Parameters
- MTU
-
Default Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) for a network interface. The range of this value spans the minimum packet size (68) to the MTU supported by the underlying network.
Return Value
