some do.... TP-Link and netgear gig unmanaged switches, for example, just have it on... in fact, the TP-Link stuff does 15k jumbos :-) now, i'm sure a nice scare story will come out saying what might happen...but we've had the max jumbo frame set on our 6500 and 3750/E/X and 2970 etc aggregator switches for years now and not seen anything 'untoward'...certainly been affected by lots of OTHER things during that time that really shouldnt be bugs anymore :-| jumbo frames on VLAN interfaces however.......... now THAT is a different story ;-) alan _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
