Jumbo frames best practise
hi there,
I am looking to use a pair of N3048s in a branch office as both the network core and for iSCSI (connected to a new equallogic).
As I understand it you can't set jumbo frames on a single port basis so it will need to be enabled across all ports.
Will this cause an issue with the LAN network (i.e. not iSCSI storage) as none of the devices are configured to use jumbo frames?
Cheers for any advice,
Huw

No it will not cause any issues. Jumbo frames lets the switch work with larger packets. If the switch receives a smaller packet it will leaves it at that size and forwards it on. If a larger packet is sent to a device that cannot receive the larger packet, then the packet will be broken down into smaller ones.
