Spanning a port with MTU 9216 to a port with MTU 1500 on an nx3548

I'm looking a span session on a nexus 3548 ( kickstart 6.0(2)A1(1) ) that has an MTU of 9216 to a port whose MTU is 1500.   So how does that work, if at all?  I don't see jumbo frames on the port that has the 1500 MTU.  Do those frames just get dropped?  Or do they somehow get framented?

Any info helps,

John

What I would expect to happen, the port with the smaller MTU should drop any frames whose size is larger than that port's MTU.  (I also would expect those lost frames to be counted on one of your error counters.)
