Does Jumbo Frames ever get fragmented

Hi

some questions regarding jumbo frames.

1) If the switch is NOT configured for jumbo frame support does the frame always get dropped or are there conditions under which the frame gets fragmented.

2) If they are always dropped then which type of frames get fragmented ?

3) If jumbo frames support is configured on switch but the egress port towards an 1841 router is 100MB , I understand the frames will get dropped.  Is there any way to solve this issue. If the link to the router is upgraded to gigabit will the frame pass thru the egress port to the router ? will the router fragement and route it onward ?

Thanks
