Follow these steps to change the link mode of an Ethernet interface:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Change the link mode of
Ethernet interfaces

In system view:

port link-mode { bridge | route } interface-list

In Ethernet interface view:

interface interface-type interface-number
port link-mode { bridge | route }

Required
Use either approach.

CAUTION:

After you change the link mode of an Ethernet interface, all the settings of the Ethernet interface are
restored to their defaults under the new link mode.

The link mode configuration for an Ethernet interface in system view and in interface view supersedes
each other.

Configuring jumbo frame support

An Ethernet interface might receive some frames larger than the standard Ethernet frame size (called

"jumbo frames") during high-throughput data exchanges such as file transfers. Usually, an Ethernet
interface discards jumbo frames. With jumbo frame support enabled, the interface can process frames

larger than the standard Ethernet frame size yet within the specified range.
In interface configuration mode (Ethernet interface view or port group view), you can set the length of

jumbo frames that are allowed to pass through the Ethernet interface.

If you execute the command in Ethernet interface view, the configuration takes effect only on the
interface.

If you execute the command in port group view, the configuration takes effect on all ports in the port
group.

Follow these steps to configure jumbo frame support in interface view or port group view:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter Ethernet interface
view

interface interface-type
interface-number

Configure jumbo frame
support

jumboframe enable [ value ]

Required
By default, the switch allows jumbo frames

within 9216 bytes to pass through Ethernet
interfaces.
If you set the value argument multiple times,
the latest configuration takes effect.
