Figure 10-7. Forwarding Jumbo Packets Through Non-Jumbo Ports
Jumbo packets can also be forwarded out non-jumbo ports when the
jumbo packets received inbound on a jumbo-enabled VLAN are routed to
another, non-jumbo VLAN for outbound transmission on ports that have
no memberships in other, jumbo-capable VLANs. Where either of the
above scenarios is a possibility, the downstream device must be config-
ured to accept the jumbo traffic. Otherwise, this traffic will be dropped
by the downstream device.
