Hi Terry,
We tried to change to jumbo frame packet size for ethernet interface in windows 10 PC to 9014 bytes, but it is not happening the default value 1500 bytes only showing.

Can you please help us to setting up this.

Hi Terry, I like your videos, can you create a video explaining the results of that show chassis command? I belong to the L2 brocade support, I want too an explanation of what's the diference between sensor A and B and which sensor gives mostly the enviromental temperature? because I can´t find documentation about it

Terry can you answer something for me? I have a layer 3 stack of 2x 6610's mixed with 3x 6450's. I have globally set the MTU to jumbo for my iscsi ports, but need to set it the mtu to 1500 for all the rest of the ports. The issue I have is these are basically layer 2 ports. Therefore I can't set the MTU using ip mtu command.

I read that I can set it on the VE's that are assigned to the vlan's and that value will apply to each interface. However when I do a show int eth 1/1/1 it still shows the mtu as 10200, but sh int ve 2 shows the mtu as 1500.

It is awfully confusing as I am unsure what setting is taking precedence here. Can you help me out?
