Does anyone know how to change mtu of vrrp interface?
The default value is 1500, and i change it to 1512 or 1480, but the actual mtu is still 1500
And it seems that it no effect to pppoe interface which created base on vrrp, for example:
eth1 mtu:1500
vrrp1 mtu:1460
pppoe1 mtu:1480
pppoe1 can connect successfully.
I’m seeing the same thing.
vrrp set on vlan interface.
physical inteface mtu is 10222
vlan interface mtu is 9170
vrrp interface mtu set to 9170 but actual mtu is 1500
this is on CCR-1072, RouterOS v6.42.11

Appears to be just cosmetic.
8000 byte ping packet works when sourced from vrrp IP address with do-not-fragment set.

It’s more than cosmetic. It appears like a bug. Try pinging TO the vrrp IP address, FROM the non-VRRP IP on the same router.. It enforces the ‘cosmetic’ MTU 
i.e.
vlan39 - mtu 9100
vlan39_vrrp - mtu1500
Can ping vlan39 from vlan39_vrrp at 9100 no problem
Can ping vlan39_vrrp from vlan39 on another host at 9100 no problem.
Try to ping vlan39_vrrp from vlan39 at 9100 on same router? Frag needed
Hmmmmm
(RB1100AHx4 and RouterOS 6.44.3)
Whoa, and speaking of VRRP bugs, you can’t have more than one IPv6 address on a VRRP interface, or they both stop communicating.. Same with having an IPv6 address on the VRRP interface, and on the parent interface. What the?!?
Actually, after some testing, when you set the V3 Protocol to IPv6, it then allows multiple IPv6 addresses on the VRRP interface. But if you also put a v6 IP on the parent interface (which is a standard config with VRRP yes??), then you lose v6 connectivity on that interface.. Hmmmm
Mikrotik support just acknowledged the issue and was able to reproduce it but they don’t have an ETA yet as of last week.
has something changed in this case? I still can’t change MTU to VRRP.
I can only confirm that in Router OS 7.1.rc4, the MTU of an VRRP interface creates on top of an VLAN interface always shows an actual-MTU of 1500. In my case the MTU and actual-MTU of the VLAN interface ist 9000 and I want the actual-MTU of the VRRP to be also 9000.
