Jumbo Frames
Use the System Management > Jumbo Frames page to configure support for layer
2 jumbo frames. The switch provides more efficient throughput for large sequential
data transfers by supporting jumbo frames up to 15K bytes. Compared to standard
Ethernet frames that run only up to 1.5 KB, using jumbo frames significantly
reduces the per-packet overhead required to process protocol encapsulation fields.
Usage Guidelines
To use jumbo frames, both the source and destination end nodes (such as a
computer or server) must support this feature. Also, when the connection is
operating at full duplex, all switches in the network between the two end nodes
must be able to accept the extended frame size. And for half-duplex connections,
all devices in the collision domain would need to support jumbo frames.
Parameters
The following parameters are displayed:
Jumbo Frame Setting — Configures support for jumbo frames up to 15 KB.
(Default: Disabled)
Web Interface
To configure support for jumbo frames:
1.
Click System Management, then Jumbo Frames.
2.
Enable or disable support for jumbo frames.
3.
Click Apply.
