Information about the MTU
The default maximum transmission unit (MTU) size for frames received and sent on all switch interfaces is
1500 bytes. You can change the MTU size to support switched jumbo frames on all Gigabit Ethernet and
10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and to support routed frames on all routed ports.
