clear-dont-fragment-bit (Services Service Set)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Clear the Don’t Fragment (DF) bit on all IP version 4 (IPv4) packets entering the IPsec tunnel. If the encapsulated packet size exceeds the tunnel maximum transmission unit (MTU), the packet is fragmented before encapsulation. This statement is useful for dynamic endpoint tunnels, for which you cannot configure the clear-dont-fragment-bit statement at the [edit services ipsec-vpn rule rule-name term term-name then] hierarchy level.

For static IPsec tunnels, setting this statement clears the DF bit on packets entering all the static tunnels within this service set. If you want to clear the DF bit on packets entering a specific tunnel, set the clear-dont-fragment-bit statement at the [edit services ipsec-vpn rule rule-name term term-name then] hierarchy level.

By default, this statement is disabled (the DF bit value is not cleared on the inner header and outer header by default).

Required Privilege Level

interface—To view this statement in the configuration.
