I read the stickies. I understand that jumbo is not recommended anymore, but I have built a back-end 10gbit switching fabric and I have some questions.
Lets say I have 2 vlans. One is Jumbo, and one is not as it gets pushed to standard gbit ethernet network, and who knows if everything is jumbo there (hint, it is not)...
I have 10 gbit interface
vlan 1
vlan 2
Can I have seperate MTU's on the VLANs?
IE vlan 2 is just for the san/fabric part of the network. Pure 10gbit, but vlaned. - If I set this to 9000 mtu does this get respected....
But what if I set vlan 1 to 1500 so everything else on my gbit network likes it....
Does it mess up the jumbo stuff?
You can set MTU's for interfaces AND vlans. So what should I do there. What respects what?
