  • You can choose to enable or disable the Tool MTU option for individual GCB or a GCB group:
    1. Enable - If enabled, GigaVUE‑FM segments the packets received by the configured pods before sending them to the tool.
    2. Disable - If disabled, the packet segmentation does not happen, and the packets are forwarded to the tool in their actual state.
  • GigaVUE‑FM displays a default Interface MTU value, and you cannot edit this value. Interface MTU value provides information about the platform's infrastructure MTU value. You cannot change the platform MTU value. As a result, a read-only value is displayed. The Tool MTU value should always be lesser than the Interface MTU value. For details on Tool MTU value, refer to Configuration of GCB Diameter Traffic Processing.

    1. Enable: If enabled, keepalive packets is sent to the tool to check if the tool can process the data packets. Keepalive packets will be sent at periodic intervals of one second.
