M4300 - Jumbo Frames

Hi all,

 

I am using a M4300 for NDI video and one of the recommendations for NDI is to disable Jumbo Frames. I do just set the frame size to 1518 for all ports? It appears that they are all set to 9198 by default... or am I looking at something else (Switching -> Ports -> Port Configuration)?

 

Or does this not matter if the connected device is also not configured to use jumbo frames?

    As far as I have checked the M4300 user manual here, it seems there is no option to disable Jumbo Frames.

    I think it doesn't matter.  Let me share this forum thread here I found online.  One of the forum member there (mjgraves) mentioned that the important thing is knowing your bandwidth needs across each link.
