Re: Different MTU Sizes in same VLAN

Is it possible? Sure... But ask what the differences are.

On your switch. CAN you set the MTU to 9000? That'll most likely help
you answer your question there. And specifically thinking about what
ethernet frames with a size of 9000 are called. Are these treated
differently?
