Jumbo Frame Commands

Certain switches can support jumbo frames (frames larger than the standard Ethernet frame size of 1518
bytes). To transmit frames of up to 9K (and 9004 bytes tagged), the user can increase the maximum
transmission unit (MTU) size from the default of 1536 by enabling the Jumbo Frame command.
The jumbo frame commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate
parameters) in the following table.
