RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit).

Description of problem:
Refers to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2044150 , when ipv6 is enabled, the allowed minimum mtu is 1280, but when setting it to, for example, 1200, nmstate cannot friendly prompts and it raises the error at verification.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nmstate-2.2.0-0.alpha.20221014.el9.x86_64
NetworkManager-1.40.0-1.el9.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
echo "interfaces:
  - name: veth0
    type: veth
    state: up
    ipv6:
      enabled: true
      address:
      - ip: 10::10
        prefix-length: 64
    veth:
      peer: veth0_p" | nmstatectl apply

nmstatectl show veth0 | grep min-mtu:  # min-mtu is 68

echo "interfaces:
  - name: veth0
    type: veth
    state: up
    ipv6:
      enabled: true
      address:
      - ip: 10::10
        prefix-length: 64
    mtu: 1200
    veth:
      peer: veth0_p" | nmstatectl apply

Actual results:
NmstateError: VerificationError: Verification failure: veth0.interface.mtu desire '1200', current '1280'

Expected results:
Raised a more user-fridenly exception like in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2044150

Ideally, if possible, when ipv6 is enabled, `min-mtu` in the output of `nmstatectl show` should show as 1280.

Additional info:

The min-mtu is hardware limitation at layer 2, it should not be impacted by layer 3(IP) status.

But yes, I will raise user friendly error message.

Patch posted to upstream: https://github.com/nmstate/nmstate/pull/2184

Verified with:
nmstate-2.2.5-1.el9.x86_64
nispor-1.2.9-1.el9.x86_64
NetworkManager-1.41.90-1.el9.x86_64
DISTRO=RHEL-9.2.0-20230127.12
