Enabling jumbo frames for Solaris

For Solaris 10, you can enable support for jumbo packet frames and set the MTU size for these
frames up to 9000. Use the following steps:

1. Add the following line to the bna.conf file. This file is located in /kernel/drv/bna.conf.

bfa<x>_port-mtu=<mtu_value>

where:

x

BNA (Brocade Network Adapter) driver instance number

mtu_value

1500 to 9000

NOTE

Size must not be greater than size set on the FCoE switch.

2. Reload the driver.

3. Enter the following command:

ifconfig bna<instance number> mtu <MTU size set in Step 1>
