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 Node. 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 Node’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.
Setting the IP Address
There are two possibilities when configuring the IP address of a network port:
DHCP The Node will seek out your network’s DHCP server and obtain an IP address for this port
each time it boots.
If the server is not found, this port will fall back to its saved static IP settings.
Static IP The IP address, netmask and gateway set in the corresponding fields will be used for
this port.
The gateway field may be left blank.
The IPv4 netmask field must be specified in dotted-decimal form, e.g.
255.255.255.0
.
If IPv6 is enabled from the Network Connections page, you can choose to use DHCP to automatically
assign an IPv6 address, or you can set a static IPv6 address. If you choose to assign a static IPv6
address, you will also need to supply the IPv6 subnet mask in slash notation, e.g.
fe80::1234:ffff:fffe:5678/64
Note: DHCP is enabled by default on management interfaces.
Important: If DHCP is enabled, please ensure your DHCP server is set to
automatically update the DNS server.
Committing the Changes
Click the Save button to save these parameters, then reboot the Node to apply them.
