Support for Jumbo Frames
Jumbo frames are frames with more than 1500 bytes of payload. You can enable jumbo

Note
Jumbo packet switching is supported for L2 and L3 traffic flows that have
established traffic paths. Jumbo frames cannot be used for establishing these
network paths. Please use frames less than 1518 bytes to establish the path, for
example by pinging the destination.
