To Configure Jumbo Frames

Jumbo Frames can support up to 15000 MTU. The default value is 1500 MTU.

●

Use the ifconfig command to increase MTUs to allow transmission of Jumbo
Frames.

For example, where the IP address for eth7 is 192.1.1.200, the following
command increases MTUs to the maximum:

# ifconfig eth7 192.1.1.200 mtu 15000 up
