| Description | This article explains how to avoid an error, 'object set operator error, -54', while configuring mtu-override in the IPsec interface. |
| Scope | FortiGate v7.4. |
| Solution |
To check the current MTU value of the Interface on FortiGate, use any one commands:
diagnose netlink interface list <intf_name> fnsysctl ifconfig <intf_name>
For this example, use 'diagnose netlink interface list vpn-ipsec' or 'fnsysctl ifconfig vpn-ipsec'.
When configuring the mtu-override option in the IPsec VPN interface, it shows the following error:
FGT #config system interface FGT (interface) # edit vpn-ipsec FGT (vpn-ipsec) # set mtu-override enable
This error appears when the VPN interface has IP and remote-ip configured. Removing the IP and remote-ip in the vpn interface configuration would resolve the issue.
config system interface
