Description

Setting a MTU on a lagg interface greater than the Ethernet interface MTU fails in 2.2. To replicate:
- create a lagg with two NICs (let's say igb2 and igb3)
- assign lagg
- Interfaces>$lagg, enable, set "none", "none" for v4/v6, MTU 9000. Save and apply changes

Check ifconfig and you'll see lagg0, igb2 and igb3 are all at 1500 MTU. If you try to use ifconfig to change the MTU of the lagg or NICs, it results in:

# ifconfig lagg0 mtu 9000
ifconfig: ioctl (set mtu): Invalid argument
# ifconfig igb2 mtu 9000
ifconfig: ioctl (set mtu): Invalid argument

To work around the issue and make it work:

# ifconfig lagg0 destroy
# ifconfig igb2 mtu 9000
# ifconfig igb3 mtu 9000

Then go to Interfaces>$lagg in the GUI, save and apply changes. The lagg will correctly be 9000 then.

This still seems to be a problem for me. I'm running the 2.2-BETA (amd64) Fri Oct 24 12:17:25 CDT 2014 build. I have 4 vlan interfaces atop a lagg interface. Each vlan interface has the MTU set to 9000. Yet, all of the vlan interfaces, the lagg interface, and the underlying igb interfaces all still show an MTU of 1500, even after multiple applications/reboots.

Manually trying to set the MTU via ifconfig results in the same errors shown above.

[2.2-BETA][admin]/root: ifconfig lagg0 mtu 9000
ifconfig: ioctl (set mtu): Invalid argument
[2.2-BETA][admin]/root: ifconfig igb2 mtu 9000
ifconfig: ioctl (set mtu): Invalid argument
[2.2-BETA][admin]/root: ifconfig igb3 mtu 9000
ifconfig: ioctl (set mtu): Invalid argument

I originally reported MTU issues with 2.2 at #3744, but that was closed in favor of this bug. I assumed this fix to this bug would have fixed my issues as well, but it appears to not be so. Maybe an issue with combining vlans + lagg + jumbo frame MTUs?

Thoughts?
