Configure Any Interface with 'Core' in Description with MTU Length

 

For SLAX version 1.0 and higher, you can use this commit script to check that any interface with "CORE" or "core" in the description is configured with an MTU of 4484 (in this example).

 

You should change the search criteria and MTU length to fit your environment and requirements.
