Setting the MTU
Enabling larger frames on a jumbo frame-capable network can improve your network throughput.
Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames that contain more than 1500 bytes of payload (MTU).
Before enabling jumbo frames, ensure that all the devices/hosts located on the network support
the jumbo frame size that you intend to use to communicate with the Bridge. If you experience
network-related problems while using jumbo frames, use a smaller jumbo frame size. Consult your
networking equipment documentation for additional instructions.
Important: Some networking switches require you to specify the size of the
jumbo frame (MTU) when enabling, as opposed to a simple enable command.
On these switches it might be required to add the necessary bytes needed for
the frame header to the MTU size you specify in the Bridge’s port configuration.
Typical header size is 28 bytes, so a 9000 byte MTU could translate to a
9028-byte total size. Refer to your switch documentation to understand what
the maximum frame size settings are for your switch.
