I would think it would affect performance of devices on locally attached
LANs.
Perhaps. It depends on what the limiting factors are on the
traffic flows that the other DHCP clients are driving. Nothing
should stop working because of a mildly reduced MTU.
Wouldn't a MAC address macro be more appropriate?
That's more work than a client-class macro for the same end
result. But if the DHCP server can't manage MTU on a class
basis and the admin doesn't want to drop the MTU for all of
the DHCP clients on this subnet then yes, you could resort
to a MAC-based scheme.
Or, if like other installations, the VPN networks generally
share a subnet, an MTU specifically for that subnet might
also be more useful.
Yes, you want to keep the scope of the MTU restriction to as
small an area as you can. I thought we were already talking
about managing MTU on a per-subnet or smaller-if-possible
basis. There's no reason to reduce the MTU outside of the
subnets where the affected devices live.
