Jumbo frames registering on ports

CiscoPurpleBelt

I am seeing the counter of jumbo packets going up on 2 ports connected to a server when neither the server or switch is configured for jumbo. The switch is a Nexus 3500 series. Anyone know why?

Yes as the ports are trunks allowing a couple vlans.

I think that behavior is only on the Nexus series. Can you post the output from one of the interfaces?

I think that is harmless anyway.

Ok here is sh interface. I was having an issue before as to why I was concerned. Jumbo seen on same port on Switch b that the same server is dual homed to.

Can you post the output of "sh que int et1/8"?

HTH

It won't take that command closest thing is sh int queuing-drop history.

Here is a counters if this helps or let me know what else.
