SRW2008 - How To Enable Jumbos Frames?

Title says it all....
How do you enable jumbo frames on an SRW2008?
The data sheet says it supports jumbo frames, but the manual does not say how to enable, and I did not find it in the Web GUI.
It just occured to me (light dawns on marblehead) - perhaps this needs to be done via the CLI?
TIA.

  • How to enable "Jumbo Frame" at RV320 LAN ports?

    I'm sorry about my silly question, where is the option to turn on the "Jumbo Frame" or allow to adjust MTU at the RV320 LAN ports?
    I can't found that in the Web management interface, will it just take the 9Kb MTU packet and no need to set?
    Looks like the MTU settings is only available at those internet ports or USB interface.

    Hello,
    You won't find any LAN side MTU settings on any of the small business routers.  The LAN ports are simply layer 2 switch ports, which means they will either forward or drop the larger packets. They have to be gigabit ports as well, Jumbo Frames do not work with anything less. Unfortunately I cannot find anything specific to this model, and I am unable to test it since I don't have any Jumbo capable NICs. 
    So your best bet is really to just give it a try.  The switch ports on the router will either forward or drop the packets, and anyone going out to the internet will either lower their packet size using MTU discovery, or the router will fragment the packets down to a size appropriate for the WAN link.
    I wish I could be more specific, but without being able to test it that is the most info I can give you right now.
    Let me know how it goes,

  • Enabling Jumbo Frames in CISCO Switch

    Hi,
    I have tried to enable jumbo frames by:
    Go to Port Management >> Port Settings
    Enable Jumbo Frames. Click Apply.
    Save configuration and reboot
    After that I try to verify that jumbo frames is really working by looking at the Status and Statistics >> RMON >> Statistics.
    It seems that the page only shows frame size of up to 1632  Bytes.  Does this mean that the Jumbo Frames are not working?  Is this the correct way to verify that Jumbo frames are enabled?
    Thanks.
    James

    Hi,
    This setting allows the frames to pass on the switch, nothing more. The rest of the devices needs to capable to send and receive such frames as well. You need to configure the NICs and possibly applications to do this.
    Make sure all communicating devices are capable of jumbo frames. If you mix them you will have trouble.
    For a sample how to do this on linux see
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Jumbo_Frames
    Hope this helps.

  • Enable Jumbo Frame Support On UCS

    Could someone direct me to the documentation for the proper way to enable jumbo frame support on UCS?  I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem and have configured MTU of 9000 from ESX running on a blade to an NFS server off a Nexus 5k.  I have good documentation for configuring jumbo frame support on the Nexus 5k and on ESX but nothing really specific for UCS.
    For Nexus 5k:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5000/sw/configuration/nxos/Cisco_Nexus_5000_Series_NX-OS_Software_Configuration_Guide_chapter33.html#con_1150612
    show run:
    policy-map type network-qos jumbo
      class type network-qos class-default
        mtu 9216
    system qos
      service-policy type network-qos jumbo
    For ESXi:
    esxcfg-vswitch -m 9000 vSwitch0
    esxcfg-vswitch -A IP_Storage vSwitch0
    esxcfg-vswitch -v 31 -p IP_Storage vSwitch0
    esxcfg-vmknic -a -i 10.254.31.2 -n 255.255.255.192 -m 9000 "IP_Storage"
    Testing:
    I have been able to ping (with large payload) the NFS host interface from a temporary vlan interface on the N5k.  I cannot do the same to the ESX hosts or between hosts.
    Thanks,

    What network adapter are you using? M81KR or the M71KR's or any other?
    The MTU is set on a per CoS basis in UCS. If you do not have any QoS policy defined for the vNIC that is going to the vSwitch, then the traffic is going to Best-Effort Class. All you need to do to enable jumbo frames is to enter the MTU to be 9000 in the MTU pulldown for whatever class the traffic is going to.
    Its also given in the user guide -
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/gui/config/guide/1.3.1/UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_1_3_1_chapter18.html
    MTU drop-down list
    The maximum transmission unit for the channel. This can be:
    An integer between 1500 and 9216. This value corresponds to the maximum packet size.
    fc—A predefined packet size of 2240.
    normal—A predefined packet size of 1500.
    Note
    This field is always set to fc for Fibre Channel.

  • Adjust MTU on my Time Capsule to enable Jumbo Frames?

    Is there a way to adjust the MTU setting on my Time Capsule to enable Jumbo Frames?  I have the most current Airport Utilities and firmware on my TC.

    There is no way to adjust MTU on either WAN or LAN ports on the TC. At least AFAIK.. Apple do not allow users to access that depth of control.
    Get a gigabit switch and plug everything into that if you want jumbo frames for local network.. Jumbo frames will obviously cause slow down on the router to the internet and I guess is why Apple doesn't use them.

  • Is it possible to enable jumbo frames on vmxnet3 under Solaris 10?

    Solaris 10 10/09 running on ESX4. VMware tools are installed. ifconfig vmxnet3s0 mtu <value> only works for mtu values of 1500 or less. /kernel/drv/vmxnet3s.conf gives no hints related to jumbo frames.
    I've come up empty searching the net. Ideas?

    According to this, it looks like you have to set the host for jumbo frames (which makes sense), then set the guest to use it, then set the guest OS to use it...

  • Enable jumbo frame on Nexus switch

    I read following phrase in configuration guide of Nexus 5020
    The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch is a Layer 2 device. This means it does not fragment frames. As a result,
    the switch cannot have two ports in the same Layer 2 domain with different maximum transmission units
    (MTUs). A per-physical Ethernet interface MTU is not supported. Instead, the MTU is set according to the
    QoS classes. You modify the MTU by setting Class and Policy maps.
    When you show the interface settings, a default MTU of 1500 is displayed for physical Ethernet interfaces
    and a receive data field size of 2112 is displayed for Fibre Channel interfaces
    Has anybody configured jumbo frame with above mentioned way ?

    Yes, it looks something like this:
    policy-map jumbo
    class class-default
    mtu 9216
    policy-map class-default
    class class-default
    mtu 9216
    system qos
    service-policy class-default

  • Jumbo Frame Support 4500X

    Can anyone give me a definitive answer as to how I enable Jumbo frame support on a 4500x system?
    Ive enabled it on the VLAN interface and the physical interfaces dont have the command available in config mode.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Jumbo Frame - Enabling on a VLAN of CAT 6500 running IOS

    Jumbo frames needs to be enabled on one of the vlan interface on Cisco 6500 IOS Switch.
    =================================================================
    •1) Once enabled the mtu 9216 on the required vlan interface do we need to reload the switch to take effect (I believe that in some low end swicthes it needs a reload)
    •2) If we enable only one Vlan interface, how about the other vlan interfaces(about 200 are on this switch)? Do we need to specify mtu1500 on other vlan interfaces?
    I have read information at the following two links, but I still wish to reconfirm by asking the questions in this forum. Someone who has already implemented this may have gained more experience while implementing it on CAT 6500 IOS Switch.

    You do not need to reboot your 6500 after you enable jumbo frames, but it is good idea to do it during an outage window. You only need to reboot smaller switches i.e. 3560, 3750, etc...after enabling jumbo frames. On these switches you can only enable it globally.  Only enable jumbo frames for the vlans you need.  You usually need jumbo frames for vlans connecting to the storage systems.
    Good Luck

  • Airport Utility fails with Jumbo Frames enabled.

    I have an iMac running 10.6.4 and Airport Utility Version 5.5.1 (551.19). A few weeks ago I enabled Jumbo Frames for some wired gigabit testing. I forgot to change back to 1500 MTU. Tried checking an Airport Setting with the Utility and it discovers the Airport Express (non-gige) but cannot retrieve the configuration. I manage the Airport via ethernet. Changing back to 1500 MTU fixes the issue. Is this expected? The odd thing is that printing works fine to the printer attached to the Airport even at 9000 MTU.

  • Adding jumbo frame support into an existing Ethernet network

    I have a remote site with 40 users that connect back to our main site via two point to point T-1’s. These users connect to an Exchange server (DMZ), Sybase databases on Sun servers (Internal network), and access the Internet via the main site.
    I have installed a new WS-2970G-24TS-E switch into the network at this remote site. I have connected all of the designers (total of 10) Apple G5 workstations and two Apple Xserve’s to this switch. I have also configured the “system jumbo MTU” to 9000 bytes on the 2970. I have not yet enabled jumbo frames on the Xserve’s or the G5’s since I am unsure of what the effect on the network might be. I imagine it could range from dropped packets to crashing the router.
    I would like to enable jumbo frame support on these devices since they transfer hundreds of gigabytes of data on their local network. But if I do this, what will be the affect when they attempt to visit web sites or connect to the Exchange server?
    How have you guys worked with this type of scenario?
    The address space for this site is a /25 of one of our class C’s.
    Please see the attached Visio diagram that outlines the connection points throughout the network.
    Thank you

    Best practice here is to segment your Jumbo Frame servers on their own VLANs for Jumbo supported systems only.
    As a post here has already mentioned, Path MTU discovery will tell the systems on the Jumbo VLANs to keep the frames under 1500 when talking to a non-Jumbo VLAN.

  • Jumbo frame support with BGP MSS size

    Hi All,
    I am working at small SP. we are going to enable Jumbo Frame support from end to end. Our core segment have MPLS cloud and packet size could be able support  up over 9000 already. Since our Core segment router  are running pure BGP with our edge/access segment router , when I enable jumbo frame support on their  interface level, I still can see BGP MSS size is 1260 right now. so my question, do I need  increase BGP MSS size between our core router  and edge router for transiting our SP cloud  traffic packet ?
    many thanks!
    Eric

    hi Harold,
    I have other question about MSS size for IPv4 and IPv6 BGP session, if the physical link MTU size is 1500 ( same as 1514 on ASR 9K platform), why IPv6 BGP MSS is 1240 and IPv6 BGP MSS is 1220? As I only understand IPv4 headr 20, tcp header 20, but didn't match these MSS size number, I am sure I mis-understand some value in between, could you please let me know how we get 1240 and 1220?
    many thanks!

  • T61 and Intel 82566mm Jumbo Frame Capable?

    I'm trying to achieve the near 100MB/sec performance with my NAS but cannot seem to get past 15MB/sec with 25MB/sec bursts on my gigabit LAN.  Do I need to enable jumbo frames for this to work?  If so, is the Intel 82566 gigabit NIC even capable of jumbo frames or is this an OS dependent issue?  In addition, does my switch also need to have jumbo frame support or is it built into gigabit? And lastly, how would this adversely affect my 802.11n clients connecting to my server - are jumbo frames something 802.11n clients capable of?

    check BIOS / configuration and see if INTERNAL LAN is enbaled or disabled. i had this happen when my wireless and lan were not working. fixed it in bios.

  • Aggregates, VLAN's, Jumbo-Frames and cluster interconnect opinions

    Hi All,
    I'm reviewing my options for a new cluster configuration and would like the opinions of people with more expertise than myself out there.
    What I have in mind as follows:
    2 x X4170 servers with 8 x NIC's in each.
    On each 4170 I was going to configure 2 aggregates with 3 nics in each aggregate as follows
    igb0 device in aggr1
    igb1 device in aggr1
    igb2 device in aggr1
    igb3 stand-alone device for iSCSI network
    e1000g0 device in aggr2
    e1000g1 device in aggr2
    e1000g2 device in aggr3
    e1000g3 stand-alone device of iSCSI network
    Now, on top of these aggregates, I was planning on creating VLAN interfaces which will allow me to connect to our two "public" network segments and for the cluster heartbeat network.
    I was then going to configure the vlan's in an IPMP group for failover. I know there are some questions around that configuration in the sense that IPMP will not detect a nic failure if a NIC goes offline in the aggregate, but I could monitor that in a different manner.
    At this point, my questions are:
    [1] Are vlan's, on top of aggregates, supported withing Solaris Cluster? I've not seen anything in the documentation to mention that it is, or is not for that matter. I see that vlan's are supported, inluding support for cluster interconnects over vlan's.
    Now with the standalone interface I want to enable jumbo frames, but I've noticed that the igb.conf file has a global setting for all nic ports, whereas I can enable it for a single nic port in the e1000g.conf kernel driver. My questions are as follows:
    [2] What is the general feeling with mixing mtu sizes on the same lan/vlan? Ive seen some comments that this is not a good idea, and some say that it doesnt cause a problem.
    [3] If the underlying nic, igb0-2 (aggr1) for example, has 9k mtu enabled, I can force the mtu size (1500) for "normal" networks on the vlan interfaces pointing to my "public" network and cluster interconnect vlan. Does anyone have experience of this causing any issues?
    Thanks in advance for all comments/suggestions.

    For 1) the question is really "Do I need to enable Jumbo Frames if I don't want to use them (neither public nore private network)" - the answer is no.
    For 2) each cluster needs to have its own seperate set of VLANs.
