Interrupt Parameters
TABLE 3-10 describes the receive interrupt blanking values.
Jumbo Frames
The variable accept-jumbo enables the driver to instruct the upper layers that the
driver is operating in Jumbo Frames mode.
To get the maximum MTU setting use the following command:
Although Jumbo Frames is configurable in 10/100 mode, Jumbo Frames is only
supported in the Gigabit (1000 Mbit/sec) mode. Configuring Jumbo Frames enables
the Ethernet interfaces to send and receive packets of up to 8192 bytes. However, the
actual transfer size depends on the switch capability.
Refer to the documentation that came with your switch for exact commands to
configure Jumbo Frames support.
