Label Description/Options
MTU Size The maximum transmission unit (MTU) specifies the maximum packet size for transfer
on the network. The default value is 1500, which is the largest value allowed by
Ethernet at the network layer. It’s best if all nodes in your network use the same value,
so only change this value if you know other nodes use a different value.
