I would like to increase the MTU size, Maximum Frame size or enable Jumbo packets on my stacked N3048 switches to improve large file transfer performance, but it is not clear the best way to do this nor what other considerations/changes need to be made.
I have a production network that has the MTU at 1518 (default). Every port in the WebUI doesn't let you change the Max Frame size. I am not sure if making a "system Jumbo mtu 9216" CLI modification will cause connection resets or issues with connections for systems not already configured to use the larger MTU or if the MTU is simply a maximum setting? I don't see a global setting for the MTU in the WebUI either that would allow me to configure it on a per port basis.
Any suggestions and/or things to watch out for? I cannot make a change that will cause disconnects or other connectivity issues as this is production.
Thank you.
