Hi Dave,
You need to verify in ‘ifconfig’ command, The MTU size has been set but might not reflected in Mac GUI.
After setting up MTU=9000 through GUI as you did above, open a command terminal and try this.
#ifconfig cxgb
example: for me it works as
# ifconfig cxgb37 |grep -i MTU
cxgb37: flags=8863 mtu 9000
->Apert from these you can verify through tcpdump , if you run some traffic on Jumbo frame enabled interface, you will see bigger packets in sniffer e.g tcpdump/wireshark.
Let me know if it helps …
🙂
