In my network i am running a catalyst 4900 as my core that has my FW and L2 switches connected. The MTU is set to 9216. On my Nexus 9k (connected to the 4900) the MTU is 1500. Hanging off my 9k is a force10 switch on a blade chassis. the MTU is at 12k. I have ESXi hosts in the blade that has MTU at 1500. My question is if the VM's and the host only transmit at 1500 (and its basic web traffic no images or video) does the 12k MTU matter or for that matter should i increase the MTU on the Nexus 9k to match at least the 4900's
