New clean install [9.1.7] MTU 9014 issue on vmbr0

I am installing Proxmox to test prior to migrating my VMWare Workstation instances

Last night I had my initial Windows instance installed so I shutdown the test system, this morning the WebGUI/SSH would not work - tried various fixes, gave up reinstalled

  1. Installed 9.1.7
  2. set nic0 MTU 9014 - working
  3. rebooted
  4. still working
  5. set vmbr0 MTU 9014 - WebGUI/SSH hung
  6. reboot
  7. still not working
  8. edit /etc/network/interfaces removed MTU
  9. reboot
  10. back working

Am I doing something wrong here? or does vmbr0 not like jumbo packets

EDIT Turns out I've a I219-LM in the box which doesn't like jumbo frames
