Nexus 7000 - determining the Jumbo MTU size on an interface.

I am trying to determin if Jumbo frames are enabled on out Nexus 7000, and I am getting mixed info back from the swtich.

I looks like the system jumbo MTU size is 9216 by default, but the interfaces all say the MTU of the interface is 1500 bytes. According to this article, the interface MTU should read 9216 is the jumbo frames are enabled globally. Is this correct. Is there a way to verify if Jumbo frame support is turned on?

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9670/products_configuration_example09186a0080b44116.shtml

Here is our output from sh run all | sec system

n7k1# sh run all | sec system

no system default switchport

system default switchport shutdown

system jumbomtu 9216

cdp format device-id system-name

  system-priority 4094

And the interface output:

n7k1# sh int po40

port-channel40 is up

Did you try looking at the physical interface?  I see the output you listed is for the vPortchannel.

After you turn jumbo frames on globally, you then have to set mtu under the interfaces.

There is a clear example of this in the command lookup for NX OS.  Just search for jumbo frames:

switch# config t

switch(config)# system jumbomtu 9216

switch(config)# show running-config

switch(config)# interface p102

switch(config-if)# switchport

switch(config-if)# mtu 9216

HI !

I Wil do the same configuration tomorrow. The moment that I execute this, It´s going to result in loss of service?

Thanks

Regards

Hi Peter

Try to use

"sh queuing interface eth x/y"

since in "show interface eth x/y" correct MTU may not be visible due to cosbetic issue.

HTH,

Hi Peter you have to enable this on each interface too  ,  I did with no loss of service  !!!!

Thanks
