Fabric Extend via L3 MTU Issue

Fabric Extend via L3 MTU Issue

I will apologize in advance if there is a better community for this question, I guessed as to where it could go.

Background

  • We have a number of locations which we have extended our Fabric.
    • 21 locations that connect to our CORE via a subscribed L3 service. 
      • The service handles routes to each node by static route definition.
      • The service has a subscribed MTU of 3900.
    • 4 locations that connect to our CORE via dark fiber or a shared L2 service (METRO) where the VLAN ids are unique to the fiber use partners.
  • We've extended the fabric from our CORE (VSP7400s) to each of the locations which can be a VSP4900 or XA14800 depending on that location.
    • All system MTUs are 1950.
  • ISIS Adjacencies are up.
  • ISIS LSDB shows all locations.
  • ISIS SPBM I-SID shows all currently active C-VLANs with I-SIDs.
  • L2 VSN traffic works with the conditions described below.


Issue Description

  • L2 VSNs between dark fiber/L2 service connected locations have no issue with any flows.
  • L2 VSNs between the L3 subscribed service connected locations have no issue as long as the MTU doesn't exceed a given value
    • Example:
      • (Windows 10 System)
        • [WORKS] ping A.B.C.D -l 1470 
        • [FAILS] ping A.B.C.D -l 1741
Troubleshooting

  • Verified MTU settings between L3 subscribed service connected locations:
    • (Windows 10 System)
      • [WORKS] ping A.B.C.D -l 1472 -f
        • A.B.C.D is a non-fabric endpoint reached via L3 subscribed service.
  • Removed 2 devices reachable via the L3 subscribed service from our main fabric and created a new one between those devices themselves.
    • Used multiple incrementing values per test for command on both sides of fabric:
      • logical-intf isis 1 dest-ip A.B.C.D mtu ABCD
        • ABCD --> 1950, 2000, 2050
    • Same results.
  • Changed the fabric endpoints to both be XA1480s and recreated a fabric between them.
    • Same results.
Question

Can someone recommend some testing or have ideas on how to solve this issue? 

Thank you in advance.
