[ixp1200] IXP1200 or IXF440 maximum MTU

Hi,

Can anyone tell me whether the IXP1200 boards (ours=ENP-2505) are capable 
of processing ethernet frames larger than 1500 bytes? Or is the IXF440 the 
limiting factor?
I'm asking this because it might be practical to implement VLAN tagging 
802.1Q (this adds 4 bytes to an ethernet frame) or other layer 2 features.

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Tim
