Configuring cut-through Layer 2 forwarding
A cut-through forwarding-enabled device forwards a frame after it receives the first 64 bytes of the frame.
This feature reduces the transmission time of a frame within the device, and enhances forwarding
performance.
To configure cut-through forwarding:
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Enable cut-through
forwarding.
cut-through enable
By default, cut-through forwarding is disabled.
NOTE:
A frame is forwarded before its CRC field is received, and thus CRC-error frames are forwarded rather
than being dropped.
