I'm in the same situation with a 2924XL ( running 12.0(5.4)WC(1) ).
Configuring mtu 1504 in the switch port where the labeled packets are
recieved, the packets are switched but I see input errors in the "show
interface" output and Oversized frames in the "show controller" output.
The mtu command for XL switches is not documented and I don't know the
maximum value. ( I dont't know why the command is called MTU, in this
case we are configuring the MRU ).
I think that other workaround is to configure the port like a 802.1q
trunk port, and using only the native vlan.
Cheers.
