◆ This switch provides more efficient throughput for large sequential data
transfers by supporting jumbo frames on Gigabit and 10 Gigabit
Ethernet ports or trunks of up to 9216 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.
◆ 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
