enable jumbo frames on a vDistributed switch

$

Hello,

 

I am looking to enable Jumbo frames on my DVS. I have done it all my life on a Standard Switch and in that case we have to enable on a per vmkernel port level.

I read the documentation about DVS which says we can enable it at the DVS level. The documentation also says there is a way to do it at vmkernel port level (even if your switch is a DVS)

 

My confusion is, in case of a DVS do I have to enable Jumbo frames at Switch and VMkernal port level or does the switch level setting over-ride whats set at VMKernel port?

 

In my setup, what I see though I have set the Jumbo frames as 9000 in the DVS level, the VMkernel port MTU still shows as 1500. Any inputs appreciated.

 

Thank you
