Ping failed on mtu size over 6048 bytes

  • 1.  Ping failed on mtu size over 6048 bytes

    Hi Eveyrone,

    I am facing a very strange where ping failed if size if over 6048 bytes

    {master:0}
    admin.paulin@core-wlt-01> ping rapid count 5 172.30.30.2 size 6048
    PING 172.30.30.2 (172.30.30.2): 6048 data bytes
    !!!!!
    --- 172.30.30.2 ping statistics ---
    5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss
    round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 11.060/28.733/61.329/17.553 ms

    {master:0}
    admin.paulin@core-wlt-01> ping rapid count 5 172.30.30.2 size 6049
    PING 172.30.30.2 (172.30.30.2): 6049 data bytes
    .....
    --- 172.30.30.2 ping statistics ---
    5 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

    That happen in either direction. On both side the mtu is properly configured at L2 and L3 level

    root@core-krk-02> show interfaces xe-0/0/23:0 detail | match mtu
    Link-level type: Ethernet, MTU: 9014, LAN-PHY mode, Speed: 10Gbps, BPDU Error: None, Loop Detect PDU Error: None, Ethernet-Switching Error: None, Source filtering: Disabled
    Protocol inet, MTU: 9000

    admin.paulin@core-wlt-01> show interfaces xe-1/0/47 detail | match mtu

    What I have notice however, is that when I look at the traffic monitor, look like that traffic that goes out from QFX10002 (172.30.30.2) is seen only once, but when received on the other end, a QFX5110 (172.30.30.1) packets look to be duplicated (could it be due to the virtual chassis)

    Anyone has ideas/suggestion what else I could look at?
