Be very careful here - changing the interface MTU would bring down OSPF as adjacencies with other OSPF speakers depend on the link MTU being the same for both sides. However, yes, MPLS needs larger-than-default Ethernet MTU's to work, so 9,000 bytes is good. To guard against dropping your OSPF adjacencies, set 'ip mtu 15000' so that OSFP can continue to use 1,500 bytes while all other protocols (including MPLS) use 9,000. You can then regularize this setup once your MPLS turn-up is complete. Cheers, Mark.
