Enabling Forwarding of Jumbo Frames
Due to tremendous amount of traffic occurring on an Ethernet interface, it is likely that some frames
greater than the standard Ethernet frame size are received. Such frames (called jumbo frames) will be
dropped. With forwarding of jumbo frames enabled, the system does not drop all the jumbo frames.
Instead, it continues to process jumbo frames with a size greater than the standard Ethernet frame size
and yet within the specified parameter range.
In global configuration mode (system view), you can set the length of jumbo frames that can pass
through the Ethernet interface.
Follow these steps to enable the forwarding of jumbo frames:
To do…
Use the command…
Remarks
Enter system view

Enable the forwarding of jumbo
frames
jumboframe enable
Required
By default, the device
allows jumbo frames with
the length of 10.240 bytes
to pass through all
Ethernet interfaces.
Enabling Loopback Detection on an Ethernet Interface
If a port receives a packet that it sent out, a loop occurs. Loops may cause broadcast storms. The
purpose of loopback detection is to detect loops on an interface.
When loopback detection is enabled on an Ethernet interface, the device periodically checks whether
the ports have any external loopback. If it detects a loopback on a port, the device will set that port to be
under loopback detection mode.
z
If loops are detected on an access port, the port will be blocked. Meanwhile, trap messages will be
sent to the terminal, and the corresponding MAC address forwarding entries will be removed.
z
If loops are detected on a trunk port or a hybrid port, trap messages are sent to the terminal. If the
loopback detection control function is also enabled on the port, the port will be blocked, trap
messages will be sent to the terminal, and the corresponding MAC address forwarding entries will
be removed.
Follow these steps to configure loopback detection:
To do…
Use the command…
