1.5.7 Modifying the MTU Settings for Jumbo Frames

For your Drobo 5N2, you can modify the Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU) to support jumbo
frames. Note that not all network devices support jumbo frames.
Note:
You need to be logged in as the administrator to change these settings.
To modify the MTU settings for jumbo frames:
1. In Drobo Dashboard on the All Drobos page, select the Drobo device for which you would like
to modify MTU settings.
2. Click the Drobo Settings option on the Navigation menu, and click Network. The Network
Settings page opens.
3. Select the Frame size (MTU) check box and modify the frame size in the text box.
Note:
Ensure the size you enter is supported by your computer and router or switch. There needs
to be end-to-end matching of MTU settings, from the Drobo device to your switch or router
to your host computer.
