Configuring The Link Mode Of An Ethernet Interface; Configuring Jumbo Frame Support - H3C S7500E-XS Series Interface Configuration Manual

Configuring the link mode of an Ethernet interface

CAUTION:
After you change the link mode of an Ethernet interface, all commands (except the shutdown
command) on the Ethernet interface are restored to their defaults in the new link mode.
An Ethernet interface can operate in either of the following modes:
•
bridge—The Ethernet interface operates as an Layer 2 interface.
•
route—The Ethernet interface operates as an Layer 3 interface.
This feature is not applicable to IRF physical interfaces and reflector ports of a remote source group.
For more information about reflector ports, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration
Guide.
To configure the link mode of an Ethernet interface:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter Ethernet interface
view.
3. Configure the link mode of
the Ethernet interface.

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 tasks:
Processes jumbo frames within the specified length.
Discards jumbo frames that exceed the specified length.
To configure jumbo frame support in interface view:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter Ethernet interface
view.
3. Configure jumbo frame
support.

Remarks
N/A
N/A
By default, an Ethernet interface
operates in bridge mode.
Remarks

N/A
By default, the device allows jumbo
frames within 9216 bytes to pass
through all Layer 2 Ethernet
interfaces.
If you set the value argument multiple
times, the most recent configuration
takes effect.
