Linksys / Cisco se2500 unmanaged switch

Can anyone tell me if this switch will support jumbo frames?

There is no mention of it on the product website, however I am aware that some switches will forward jumbo frames. Has anyone tried or tested this switch to determine if it will in fact forward jumbo frames?

no experience with it, but after looking at the site and the product, I can't imagine that it would support or forward jumbo frames.

Jumbo frames really do not do much but lower the processor usage by a small amount. Most work of segmentation is offloaded already and increasing the packet size does not really make that much of a difference in small networks of a typical end user. This is of course with a modern supporting operating system and NIC. However, most layer 2's support large packet sizes even if the product does not say so. One last thing to note that there is no standard to the large packet size, and can cause issues in some cases.
