Hi all,
I posted this in the Network secstion a few weeks ago and no one seemed to know that was up.
I think it's a bug/overlooked use case, but when you have interfaces bridged in the UCI config, the MTU setting does not get applied to the member interfaces (physical or VLAN).
config interface 'lan'
option proto 'static'
option netmask '255.255.255.0'
option ip6assign '60'
option ipaddr '192.168.1.1'
option type 'bridge'
option mtu '9000'
option ifname 'eth1 eth4.10'
When I boot using this config I have connectivity issues with devices using Jumbo frames. ifconfig confirms that MTUs on the members interfaces are still at default 1500.
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 0C:C4:7A:AB:39:3D

I have to manually use the ifconfig tool to set the MTU (i.e. ifconfig eth4.10 mtu 9000) to get the network back up and running correctly.
Obviously these commands could be scritped, however it was my understanding the UCI network config should be doing this .
Any thoughts?
