On my SLES8 guests I set MTU in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 file. This
can also be changed with ifconfig command.
I hope This Help,

Subject: Changing MTU size on an ethernet interface


I'm in an interesting situation.....  Our network, hence my linux guests,
use an MTU size of 1500.  As it turns out, our z/os systems use an MTU size
of 1492. We just started using a z/os HTTP server outside the firewall to
do reverse proxy inside to our linux guests.  When I do not go through the
z/OS httpd server, things go swimmingly. I suspect I'm getting retransmit
delays with an 8 byte difference in MTU. I'm not sure under SLES8 where to
change the MTU size for ETH0 to see if making those match will change the
behaviour we are seeing.

Anyone know where to tweak this particular thing after the fact?
