To specify the Ethernet frame
length/MTU:
Specify a value between 1514 and 9216 bytes. Check
your network supports the new frame length before
setting the new value.
Note
: This setting affects all adapters in the team, and
will override any individual adapter settings made
from the
Configure Offload tasks, Ethernet and other
features
window. See
Using SAM to Configure Adapter
for more details.
NOTE:
Changing team settings can disrupt current services running on the server. Solarflare
recommend only changing network settings when disruption to the services can be tolerated.
