The ipsec df-bit clear command sets the Don't Fragment (DF) flag bit in a packet to 0, indicating that IPSec packets can be fragmented in the specified IPSec policy view.
The undo ipsec df-bit clear command cancels the configuration.
By default, the DF flag bit in a packet is not set to 0.
This command is supported only on the NetEngine 8000 F1A.
Usage Scenario
The ipsec fragmentation before-encryption command can be used to allow IPSec packets to be fragmented and then encrypted. If the ipsec fragmentation before-encryption command is run, the ipsec df-bit clear command must also be run to set the DF flag bit to 0 to enable IPSec packet fragmentation. If the ipsec fragmentation before-encryption command is not used together with the ipsec df-bit clear command, the DF flag bit in a packet may be set to 1 (indicating that IPSec packets cannot be fragmented), causing a configuration failure of the ipsec fragmentation before-encryption command.
Configuration Impact
If both the ipsec df-bit clear and ipsec global df-bit clear commands are run, the ipsec global df-bit clear command preferentially takes effect.
After the undo ipsec df-bit clear command is run, the ipsec global df-bit clear command configuration takes effect.
