Why packet loss happens if the ping packet is shorter than 1500 bytes?

Hello everyone,

I encountered a problem the MTU on the VLANIF interface is 1500 bytes. When a router pings a directly connected switch, why packet loss happens if the ping packet is shorter than 1500 bytes?

Does anyone know the reason? Thanks!

Hi@ster,

A switch sends ping packets at an interval of 1 second, while the high-end router sends ping packets at a shorter interval. When a router sends a relatively long ping packet (for example, longer than 400 bytes), the number of bytes sent to the CPU every second exceeds the ICMP CAR value set on the switch. As a result, the ping packets are discarded by the switch. If you have any problems, please post them in our Community. We are happy to solve them for you!
