Workaround:
If jumbo frame is to be enabled, set the MTU to 8172 by doing the following (using
interface port1 as an example:
1. Create a file /etc/hosts and add the following line in it:
nxge-port1
is the name you give to the interface.
99.99.9.1
is the IP address you want to assign to the interface.
2. Create a file /etc/hostname.nxge1 and place the following two lines in it:
3. If you want the system to set the netmask to a special value automatically, add
the following line in /etc/netmasks (using netmask FFFFFF00 as an
example):
4. Reboot the system.
The nxge1 interface will be automatically plumbed with IP address 99.99.9.1,
MTU value 8172 and netmask ffffff00. ifconfig -a should show something
similar to the following:
If you want to set parameters permanently for other interfaces, then create
/etc/hostname.nxge0
, /etc/hostname.nxge2 and /etc/hostname.nxge3
similarly and add their name IP-address pairs to the same /etc/hosts file and add
their netmasks to the same /etc/netmasks file.
