Subject: [PATCH pve-network v5 04/15] sdn: zones: take the VXLAN and EVPN MTU from the underlay interface
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 16:18:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102151842.1605234-5-h.laimer@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102151842.1605234-1-h.laimer@proxmox.com>
The MTU of a VXLAN or EVPN zone without its own setting is the MTU of
the interface that reaches its peers, minus the 50 bytes of VXLAN
encapsulation. The lookup read that interface one level too high in
the parsed network configuration and never found it. So the vnets
always got the default of 1450.
A zone whose underlay interface has an MTU set gets that MTU minus the
encapsulation at its next apply, such as 8950 on a 9000 byte underlay.
