interfaces
CAUTION:
After you change the link mode of an Ethernet interface, all the settings of the Ethernet interface are
•
restored to their defaults under the new link mode.
The link mode configuration for an Ethernet interface in system view and in interface view supersedes
•
each other.

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. Usually, an Ethernet
interface discards jumbo frames. With jumbo frame support enabled, the interface can process frames
larger than the standard Ethernet frame size yet within the specified range.
In interface configuration mode (Ethernet interface view or port group view), you can set the length of
jumbo frames that are allowed to pass through the Ethernet interface.
If you execute the command in Ethernet interface view, the configuration takes effect only on the
•
interface.
If you execute the command in port group view, the configuration takes effect on all ports in the port
•
group.
Follow these steps to configure jumbo frame support in interface view or port group view:

Enabling the auto power-down function on an Ethernet
interface
To save power, enable the auto power-down function on Ethernet interfaces. An interface enters the
power save mode if it has not received any packet for a certain period of time (this interval depends on
Use the command...
system-view

In system view:
port link-mode { bridge | route } interface-list
•
In Ethernet interface view:
interface interface-type interface-number
port link-mode { bridge | route }
Use the command...

Required
By default, the switch allows jumbo frames within
10000 bytes to pass through Ethernet interfaces.
If you set the value argument multiple times, the
latest configuration takes effect.
