Cannot set MTU for Network interface in FreeNAS-11.3-U3.2 Web Interface

by

I’m trying to set the MTU value for my network interface in FreeNAS-11.3-U3.2 to 9000.

However, when I select the interface to EDIT in the WebUI, enter 9000 for the MTU field, then click “APPLY”, I get the following error.

VALLIDATION ERRORS:
[EINVAL] interface_update.aliases.0: The network 192.168.1.0/24 is already in use by another interface.

NOTE:
I previously was unable to configure the interface via the WEBUI when setting the IP (resulting in the same error), and successfully set the interface via the freenas console.

Is there a setting I need to change in order to enable network configuration (specifically MTU) for network interfaces in the WEBUI?

Or, alternatively, how can I set the MTU value?

UPDATE: looks like I was able to set mtu=9000 via the shell, but isn’t persistent after reboot.

# update interface mtu
ifconfig em0 10.20.110.2 mtu 9000

# NAS to {OTHER MACHINE WITH 10GbE}
# ping -D -s 8972 {OTHER MACHINE WITH 10GbE}
