When using tagged VLANs on Cisco Nexus switches for NVMe over TCP, which two changes must be made to enable jumbo frames? (Choose two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, C

For enabling jumbo frames on Cisco Nexus switches for NVMe over TCP with tagged VLANs, the following changes are required:

Modify the Cisco Nexus switches to use an MTU of 9216: Setting the MTU to 9216 ensures that the network can handle jumbo frames, reducing the number of packets needed for large data transfers and thus improving performance.

Modify the appropriate broadcast domain in NetApp ONTAP software to use an MTU of 9216: This setting must match the network configuration to ensure end-to-end support for jumbo frames, which is essential for optimizing performance in NVMe over TCP environments.

For additional information, refer to:

I thought it was just 9000 MTU for everything?

I believe we definitely need to change the MTU on the Nexus switches, but I can't recall if the ONTAP should be set to 9000 or 9216.

I’m a bit confused about the MTU values. Is it 9000 or 9216 for the ONTAP software? I feel like I saw both in different contexts.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think both the switch and the ONTAP software need to match the MTU settings.

I think we need to set the MTU on the Nexus switches to 9216, but I'm not entirely sure if 9000 is also acceptable.
