Is the VLAN mtu or port mtu that my 3560 switch is actually using?
I setup port-channels on the 3560X switch with multiple vlan suport and set Jumbo MTU size to 9198. VLAN mtu is 1500. If two devices with jumbo frame enabled (mtu=9100) are connected to this switch and are on the same VLAN, which mtu size will they be using when talking to each other? Thank you.

giltjr,
Thanks for your reply. So if two devices on the same VLAN, but different switches with jumbo frame enabled will also talk using the jumbo size since traffic won't need to be routed out of the vlan?
Thank you very much again for your time.

Explanation:
VLAN's don't have a MTU a VLAN interface does, ports do, and a etherchannel does.
A VLAN interface is only used when you are talking directly to the IP address for that VLAN interface.
