Well, yes, they have to be. You have two kinds of packets called "jumbo", the FE kind of jumbo configured with "system mtu XXXX" which can have limits like 1546 or 1998 or 2018 and probably lots more, depending on how far the hardware designer stretched the FE specs, and GE jumbo which is mostly 9000 and is configured with "system mtu jumbo XXXX" but only works on gigabit interfaces. I believe your switches have an FE maximum MTU of 1998, so if you are just making room for some QinQ headers on a 1500-byte packet then you have nothing to worry about :-) -- HTH, Nathan _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
