How do I change/set the MTU of an interface? (#1802)

To change or set the MTU of an interface you would use:

ifconfig ethX mtu

Where ethX is the interface of which you would like the change or set the MTU size. An example of this would be:

ifconfig eth0 mtu 1500

This would set an MTU value of 1500 to eth0.

MTU can also be set by adding a line: MTU=1440 (for example) to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. Thanks to gregorlarson.
