Working with Jumbo Frames
The term
jumbo frame
refers to a frame on a local area network that is larger
than the standard 1518 byte size. Network Storage supports jumbo frames up
to 9000 bytes.
On Network Storage, the frame size setting is called Maximum Transmission
Unit (MTU). The default MTU or frame is 1500 bytes. This setting is appropriate
for most users. See your Network Administrator before you change this setting.
To make frame size settings:
1. In the Tree, click on the
+
beside the Network icon.
2. Click on the Network Setup icon.
3. Click on the Jumbo Frame tab.
4. From the MTU dropdown menu, select the maximum MTU or frame size:
•
1500 bytes (default)
• 4000
bytes
• 7000
bytes
• 9000
bytes
5. Click
the
OK
button to save your setting.
