[c-nsp] ASR901 to ME3600X xconnect

Hi,

I'm already setting the MTU on the xconnect itself. The device doesn't
seem to support changing the interface MTU:

asr901A(config-if)#int gi0/0
asr901A(config-if)#mtu 1500
% Interface GigabitEthernet0/0 does not support user settable mtu.

but this works fine:

service instance 1 ethernet
  encapsulation dot1q 17
  rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
  xconnect 10.123.29.1 4321 encapsulation mpls
   mtu 1500

if I don't set the mtu to 1500 then on the ME3600x I get an error
message about MTU.

kind regards
Pshem
