When you enter the no mtu command, the system reduces the IP MTU value to
1536 bytes.
Link MTU and IP MTU considerations for port channels and VLANs are as follows.
port channels:
All members must have the same link MTU value and the same IP MTU value.
The port channel link MTU and IP MTU must be less than or equal to the link
MTU and IP MTU values configured on the channel members. For example, if
the members have a link MTU of 2100 and an IP MTU 2000, the port channel’s
MTU values cannot be higher than 2100 for link MTU or 2000 bytes for IP MTU.
VLANs:
All members of a VLAN must have same IP MTU value.
Members can have different Link MTU values. Tagged members must have a
link MTU 4 bytes higher than untagged members to account for the packet tag.
The VLAN link MTU and IP MTU must be less than or equal to the link MTU and
IP MTU values configured on the VLAN members. For example, the VLAN
contains tagged members with Link MTU of 1522 and IP MTU of 1500 and
untagged members with Link MTU of 1518 and IP MTU of 1500. The VLAN’s Link
MTU cannot be higher than 1518 bytes and its IP MTU cannot be higher than
1500 bytes.
The following shows the difference between Link MTU and IP MTU.

portmode hybrid
To accept both tagged and untagged frames, set a physical port or port-channel. A port configured this
way is identified as a hybrid port in report displays.

portmode hybrid
To return a port to accept either tagged or untagged frames (non-hybrid), use the
no portmode hybrid command.
