The last thing to configure now is to rise the interface up when fastd starts (as it normally doesn't rise it for you), all occurences of `<interfaceName>` here should match the one in the `interface <interfaceName>;` declaration as shown earlier.
### MTU
The default MTU of a fastd tunnel is 1500 bytes. However, this can be problematic if the Internet uplink also has an MTU of 1500 or less. In this case IP fragmentation can occur. This is usually something you want to avoid.
To calculate the appropriate MTU, you must first calculate the fastd overhead:
The default overhead is 28. If the `null` method is used, add 1, if the `null@l2tp` method is used, add 8, and for all other methods, add 24. If TAP is used instead of TUN, add 14. If the tunnel is established over IPv6, add 20.
Now calculate the MTU of the uplink (often 1500) minus the number you just calculated and you get the MTU that must be used in the fastd tunnel.
You can configure this with the parameter `mtu`:
```
mtu <mtu>;
```
Replace `<mtu>` with the calculated number.
### Starting and maintaining the daemon
You can then start the daemon as follows:
