might be relevant here. Kapil says: "...you can't really set a bridge
mtu, you have to set it for all the containers on the bridge, ie.
bridges take the lowest mtu of their interfaces. so instead we have to
set all the containers mtu."

If so, I'm not sure it really makes sense for the DHCP client to set the
MTU on eth0 when receiving DHCP over br0. I suppose it depends on the
use case though.

Title:
  DHCP's "Option interface-mtu 9000" is being ignored on bridge
  interface br0

Status in isc-dhcp package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In an env with jumbo frames enabled, and using MAAS as DHCP server,
  the client receives the following IPv4 lease:

  $ cat /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.br0.leases
  lease {
    interface "br0";
    fixed-address 10.230.20.26;
    filename "pxelinux.0";
    option subnet-mask 255.255.248.0;
    option dhcp-lease-time 43200;
    option routers 10.230.16.1;
    option dhcp-message-type 5;
    option dhcp-server-identifier 10.230.20.1;
    option domain-name-servers 10.230.20.1;
    option interface-mtu 9000;
    option broadcast-address 10.230.23.255;
    option domain-name "ctsstack.qa.1ss";
    renew 3 2014/12/17 16:48:15;
    rebind 3 2014/12/17 21:52:09;
    expire 3 2014/12/17 23:22:09;
  }

  The interfaces show the following config after boot:

  $ ifconfig br0
  br0       Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr a0:d3:c1:01:9d:58
            inet addr:10.230.20.26  Bcast:10.230.23.255  Mask:255.255.248.0

  "option interface-mtu 9000;" from the lease file is being ignored by br0. Could it be related to eth0 MTU size? If that's the case, shouldn't both interfaces be updated?

  Other info:

  $ brctl show br0
  bridge name	bridge id		STP enabled	interfaces
  br0		8000.a0d3c1019d58	no		eth0

  $ cat /etc/network/eth0.config
  iface eth0 inet manual

  auto br0
  iface br0 inet dhcp
    bridge_ports eth0
