Is it  possible to change the Ethernet MTU on an AGS (or and AGS+)?

I looked in the manual and one can change the "ip mtu" but it does not
appear to cause any fragmentation through the router.  The show interface
still shows the ethernet mtu as 1500 (as it should) and the show ip interface
shows the ip mtu as whatever you change it to!  Does the IP MTU only come
into play when communicating with the cisco?

Thanks.
Bob
