MTU

Hi

Can someone explain the difference between the following MTUs

From what I can understand there is a hardware MTU.

interface f1/0
mtu 1500

Then there is an IP MTU for only IP packets

interface f1/0
ip mtu 1500

The most confusing is vlan MTUs

Under what circumstance does the VLAN MTU come into play
For instance
if I change the MTU under a layer2 vlan what effect does it have and
how is this different from changing the MTU under an SVI?

Thanks
