Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The lifetime of a dynamic PMTU entry can be changed by setting an aging time for dynamic PMTU entries.

To slow down PMTU aging, run the ipv6 pathmtu age command to set the aging time of dynamic PMTU entries to a larger value.

Precautions

This command changes only the aging time of dynamic PMTUs but not static PMTUs because static PMTU entries never age.

The priority of a static PMTU is higher than that of a dynamic PMTU. If the static PMTU exists, the dynamic PMTU does not take effect.

The aging time for the PMTU is valid only for the dynamic PMTU entries generated after this configuration, instead of the PMTU entries generated before this configuration.

Example

# Set the aging time of dynamic PMTU entries to 40 minutes.
