Configuring the link mode of an Ethernet interface
CAUTION:
After you change the link mode of an Ethernet interface, all commands (except the
shutdown
command) on the Ethernet interface are restored to their defaults in the new link mode.
An Ethernet interface can operate in either of the following modes:
•
bridge
—The Ethernet interface operates as an Layer 2 interface.
•
route
—The Ethernet interface operates as an Layer 3 interface.
This feature is not applicable to IRF physical interfaces and reflector ports of a remote source group.
For more information about reflector ports, see
Network Management and Monitoring Configuration
Guide
.
To configure the link mode of an Ethernet interface:
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.

3.
Configure the link mode of
the Ethernet interface.

By default, an Ethernet interface
operates in bridge mode.
Configuring jumbo frame support
An Ethernet interface might receive frames larger than the standard Ethernet frame size during
high-throughput data exchanges, such as file transfers. These frames are called jumbo frames.
The Ethernet interface processes jumbo frames in the following ways:
•
When the Ethernet interface is configured to deny jumbo frames, the Ethernet interface
discards jumbo frames.
•
When the Ethernet interface is configured with jumbo frame support, the Ethernet interface
performs the following tasks:
{
Processes jumbo frames within the specified length.
{
Discards jumbo frames that exceed the specified length.
To configure jumbo frame support in interface view:
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.

2.
Enter Ethernet interface

By default, the device allows jumbo
frames within 9216 bytes to pass
through all Layer 2 Ethernet
interfaces.
If you set the
value
argument multiple
times, the most recent configuration
takes effect.
