[root@nuc0 ~]# dladm show-phys
LINK         MEDIA                STATE      SPEED  DUPLEX    DEVICE
e1000g0      Ethernet             up         1000   full      e1000g0
[root@nuc0 ~]# dladm show-linkprop -p mtu e1000g0
LINK         PROPERTY        PERM VALUE          DEFAULT        POSSIBLE
e1000g0      mtu             rw   1500           1500           1500-9216

Setting a higher MTU in a running system does not work 
(I read that this is expected, although on Linux this has always worked)

[root@nuc0 ~]# ifconfig e1000g0 mtu 9000
ifconfig: setifmtu: SIOCSLIFMTU: e1000g0: Invalid argument
[root@nuc0 ~]# dladm set-linkprop -p mtu=9000 e1000g0
dladm: warning: cannot set link property ‚mtu' on 'e1000g0': link busy

So I changed the MTU in the boot-time config in /usbkey/config:

# underlay_nic is the underlay for SDC fabric networking
underlay_nic=b8:ae:ed:72:8a:17
underlay0_vlan_id=4
underlay0_ip=10.88.88.2
underlay0_netmask=255.255.255.0
underlay0_mtu=9000

But this leads to an error in the boot-up process.
Or do I have to increase the MTU of the physical
e1000g0 as well? Since the untagged e1000g0 
is running the admin network I thought I was 
supposed to leave that at 1500…

The platform version is joyent_20160218T022556Z.
