Configuring PMTU Discovery
Configuring a Static PMTU for a Specified IPv6 Address
You can configure a static PMTU for a specified destination IPv6 address. When a source host
sends a packet through an interface, it compares the interface MTU with the static PMTU of the
specified destination IPv6 address. If the packet size is larger than the smaller one between the
two values, the host fragments the packet according to the smaller value.
Follow these steps to configure a static PMTU for a specified IPv6 address:

Configuring the Aging Time for Dynamic PMTUs
After the path MTU from a source host to a destination host is dynamically determined (refer to
), the source host sends subsequent packets to the destination host
based on this MTU. After the aging time expires, the dynamic PMTU is removed and the source
host re-determines a dynamic path MTU through the PMTU mechanism.
The aging time is invalid for a static PMTU.
