Setting Jumbo frame on Nexus 7K vPC

[pfillips11]

Hello,

May I know if setting Jumbo frame on a 7K vPC a disruptive process? As we need to make the changes on individual port-channel on switches in vPC peer, I am wondering how Nexus will behave while it has different configuration on the port-channels on two switches.

Thank you.

Hi pfillips11,

Here's the CCO link for setting up Jumbo Frames on the Nexus7000 box:

I don't think you'd run into any issues or problems.  In this case you're telling the supervisor to program the hardware to pass a jumbo frame of the size you chose. 

What kind of business are you doing with your Nexus7000 boxes?  Is it a 24x7 can't take ten seconds of down time scenario?
