Jumbo Packet Configuration
The Jumbo Packet Configuration screen, shown in Figure 6-66, allows you to
utilize jumbo packets. The IEEE 802.3 standard specifies the maximum size of
Ethernet frames at 1,518 bytes. A jumbo packet is simply one having up to
65,535 bytes. In a case where a server has to receive a massive amount of data,
the required overhead of processing the individual frames could have negative
effects on the server's CPU, and ultimately on overall server performance.
• Load Default Size - If enabled, the Switch will use the default size for jumbo
packets, which is 1536 bytes.
• Jumbo Packet Length - With Default Size disabled, you can set the jumbo
packet length between 1536 and 9216 bytes.
