1. Edit the
/platform/sun4v/kernel/drv/nxge.conf
file, and ensure that
any line with
accept_jumbo=1;
is commented out.
2. Ensure that there is no
set nxge:nxge_jumbo_enable=1
in the
/etc/system
file.

To Set the MTU to a Smaller Size
If you want to use Jumbo Frames, you can use this workaround instead of disabling
Jumbo Frames. This procedure sets the MTU to a value equal to or smaller than 4076,
using
port1
as an example.
Note –
By following these steps, the MTU values are permanent. As an alternative,
you can run the command
ifconfig nxge
X
mtu 4076
(where
X
is the instance
number), but the MTU value will change back to the default one after a reboot.
1. Edit or create an
/etc/hosts
file and add the following line in it:
Where
nxge-port1
is the name you assign to the interface.
99.99.9.1
is the IP
address you want to assign to the interface.
2. Create an
/etc/hostname.nxge1
file and place the following two lines in it:
99.99.9.1
nxge-port1
nxge-port1
nxge-port1
mtu 4076
