A routed VPLS is attached to an IES interface. The VPLS service MTU is 1400 bytes, and the IES interface IP MTU is 1500 bytes. Which statement is true?
The operational IP MTU for an IP interface bound to a VPLS cannot exceed the VPLS service MTU minus the 14-byte Ethernet header. Therefore, a 1400-byte VPLS service MTU yields an effective IP MTU of 1386 bytes, so larger IP packets are fragmented when permitted.
