Configuring jumbo frame support
An Ethernet interface might receive frames larger than the standard Ethernet frame size during high-throughput data exchanges, such as file transfers. These frames are called jumbo frames.
The Ethernet interface processes jumbo frames in the following ways:
When the Ethernet interface is configured to deny jumbo frames, the Ethernet interface discards jumbo frames.
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 that exceed the specified length.
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 [ size ] | For information about the default jumbo frame support, see Interface Command Reference. |
