Each of the boards have different ethernet interfaces so - there are different drivers. I think Mikrotik uses manufacturer drivers - they don't write them. So my point is - this driver doesn't support MTU bigger than 1500
Why do you need bigger MTU? Why not just reduce MTU on the VLAn interface?
Because i have sold a lot of these to an FTTH ISP project where Routerboards will give full L3 functionality to common VLAN switches. They can actually save 50% of their budget compared to using vendors like Extreme Networks L3 switches. One of the demands for this is that we can give the users a full 1500 byte frame.. This we will have to solve using RB600's instead.
