Command Usage
• This switch provides more efficient throughput for large sequential data transfers
by supporting jumbo frames 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 between the two end nodes
must be able to accept the extended frame size. And for half-duplex connections,
all devices in the collision domain would need to support jumbo frames.
• Enabling jumbo frames will limit the maximum threshold for broadcast storm
control to 64 packets per second. (See the switchport broadcast command on
page 4-152.)
