Hello,
I have ESX 5.1 configured for SR-IOV on a Intel X520 and would like to configure the MTU setting to 9000 to match the virtual functions MTU value of 9000.
When the device is a vSwitch, setting this seems simple enough either using the GUI or CLI.
Configured for SR-IOV and a passThru device, I am unable to find the command to configure this value.
Thanks for the guidance,
Hunter22
