Configuring jumbo frame support
An Ethernet interface might receive some frames larger than the standard Ethernet frame size during high-throughput data exchanges, such as file transfers. These frames are called jumbo frames.
The interface processes jumbo frames in the following ways:
When the Ethernet interface is configured to deny jumbo frames (by using the undo jumboframe enable command), the Ethernet interface discards jumbo frames without further processing.
When the Ethernet interface is configured with jumbo frame support, the Ethernet interface performs the following operations:
Processes jumbo frames within the specified length.
Discards jumbo frames exceeding the specified length without further processing.
To configure jumbo frame support in interface view:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter Ethernet interface view. | interface interface-type interface-number | N/A |
3. Configure jumbo frame support. | jumboframe enable [ value ] | By default, the switch allows jumbo frames within 10000 bytes to pass through all Ethernet interfaces. |
