[Anuj Singhi]

Do we require to reboot 6500 when we enable jumbpframes MTU 1600 in that?

No, you don't. Please read http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12-2SX/configuration/guide/book/intrface.html#wp1041111

Hello Anuj,

On the 6500, support for jumbo frames has to be enabled per port and you don't require reboot of switch.

Here's a good document discussing the support of jumbo frames on most Cisco switches.
