Not really. For Ethernet, Juniper does NOT include the 4 octets FCS
(frame checksum). So Cisco 1500 == Juniper 1514, not 1518 as one might
guess. Now enable vlan-tagging on the Juniper Ethernet interface, and
default MTU readout will say 1518 - which is 1514 plus 4 for the VLAN
tag.

Yes, MTU stuff makes a grown man cry.


Best regards,
Daniel
