Configuring jumbo frame support

An Ethernet interface might receive some frames larger than the standard Ethernet frame size (called
"jumbo frames") during high-throughput data exchanges, such as file transfers.
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 without further processing.
When the Ethernet interface is configured with jumbo frame support, the Ethernet interface:
•
Processes jumbo frames within the specified length.
Discards jumbo frames beyond the specified length without further processing.
To configure jumbo frame support in interface view:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter Ethernet interface
view.
3. Configure jumbo frame
support.

Remarks
By default, the following
interfaces operate as Layer 2
Ethernet interfaces:
•
Ethernet interfaces on a
SIC-4FSW, SIC-4GSW,
DSIC-9FSW, HMIM-8GSW,
or HMIM-24GSW interface
card.
•
Ethernet interfaces
GigabitEthernet 0/3 to
GigabitEthernet 0/27 on an
MSR2004-24 router.
•
Ethernet interfaces
GigabitEthernet 0/3 to
GigabitEthernet 0/50 on an
MSR2004-48 router.

By default, the device allows jumbo
frames within the specified length to
pass through all Layer 2 Ethernet
interfaces. The length of jumbo frames
that are allowed to pass depends on
the device model. For more
information, see Interface Command
References.
If you set the value argument multiple
times, the most recent configuration
takes effect.
