Modifying the MTU of a DirectLink Interface

You can modify the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of a DirectLink interface.

For more information on DirectLink interfaces, see About DirectLink > DirectLink Connections and Private Virtual Interfaces.

Modifying the MTU of a DirectLink Interface Using OSC CLI

The UpdateDirectLinkInterface command modifies the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of a DirectLink interface.

Request sample
$ osc-cli api UpdateDirectLinkInterface --profile "default" \
    --DirectLinkInterfaceId "dxvif-12345678" \
    --Mtu 1500

This command contains the following attributes that you need to specify:

  • DirectLinkInterfaceId: The ID of the DirectLink interface you want to update.

  • DryRun: (optional) If true, checks whether you have the required permissions to perform the action.

  • Mtu: The maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the DirectLink interface, in bytes (always 1500).

The UpdateDirectLinkInterface command returns the following elements:

  • DirectLinkInterface: Information about the DirectLink interfaces.

    • AccountId: The account ID of the owner of the DirectLink interface.

    • BgpAsn: The BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) ASN (Autonomous System Number) on the customer’s side of the DirectLink interface.

    • BgpKey: The BGP authentication key.

    • ClientPrivateIp: The IP on the customer’s side of the DirectLink interface.

    • DirectLinkId: The ID of the DirectLink.

    • DirectLinkInterfaceId: The ID of the DirectLink interface.

    • DirectLinkInterfaceName: The name of the DirectLink interface.

    • InterfaceType: The type of the DirectLink interface (always private).

    • Location: The datacenter where the DirectLink interface is located.

    • Mtu: The maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the DirectLink interface, in bytes (always 1500).

    • OutscalePrivateIp: The IP on the OUTSCALE side of the DirectLink interface.

    • State: The state of the DirectLink interface (pending | available | deleting | deleted | confirming | rejected | expired).

    • VirtualGatewayId: The ID of the target virtual gateway.

    • Vlan: The VLAN number associated with the DirectLink interface.

  • ResponseContext: Information about the context of the response.

    • RequestId: The ID of the request.
