- MTU enforcement is for egress traffic
- Hardware programs the MTU value (default value is 1500, in this case, 2000) and checks against forwarding packet length (in this case, it is ipv4 packet).
- For IPv4 packets, if the length is more than MTU, the packets will be fragmented by CPU.
- And the number of fragmented and dropped packets are reflected by CoPPEgressTrap counter in the output of "show cpu counters queue summary | nz"
