Use the jumbo-frames command to enable or disable jumbo frames on all Layer 2 ports on the controller. The jumbo frames feature allows for frames greater than 1500 bytes (maximum MTU frame size).
| enable | Enables jumbo frames on all controller Layer 2 ports. |
| disable | Disables jumbo frames on all controller Layer 2 ports. |
The standard Ethernet frame MTU for untagged packets is 1518 bytes including the 18 Ethernet header bytes. The standard Ethernet frame MTU for tagged packets is 1522 bytes.
Enabling jumbo frame support, the maximum frame size is 1818 bytes, including 18 Ethernet header bytes for untagged packets and 1822 bytes, including 22 Ethernet header bytes for tagged packets.
Jumbo frame size between the standard frame MTU and the jumbo frame size is not administratively configurable and is hard set to the stated values.
The following example enables jumbo frame support for the l2ports# context:
EWC.extremenetworks.com# l2ports EWC.extremenetworks.com:l2ports# jumbo-frames enable EWC.extremenetworks.com:l2ports#
