I have a "disconnected" Open vSwitch on my system named ovs1. By "disconnected" I mean that it is not connected to any physical interface, bond, etc.; it exists only for inter-VM communication.
I just discovered that jumbo frames (anything larger than 1528 bytes) are being dropped when traveling across the bridge. I need to set the MTU of the bridge (actually its internal port) to a larger value. I haven't been able to figure out a way to get systemd-networkd to do this. I tried creating /etc/systemd/network/ovs1.link, but it had no effect: [Match] OriginalName=ovs1 [Link] MTUBytes=9000 Currently I'm using a service file, which feels very hacky: [Unit] Description=Set ovs1 MTU Requires=openvswitch.service After=openvswitch.service Before=libvirtd.service [Service] Type=OneShot ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ip link set dev ovs1 mtu 8996 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Can anyone think of a better way? -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequip...@gmail.com -------- "I grew up before Mark Zuckerberg invented friendship" -------- ======================================================================== _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
