Configure Jumbo Frames (Linux)

Jumbo frames can support up to 9706 MTU. The default value is 1500 MTU.

• Use the ifconfig(1M) command to increase MTUs to allow transmission of jumbo frames.

  For example, where the IP address for eth7 is 192.1.1.200, the following command increases MTUs to the maximum:

  # ifconfig eth7 192.1.1.200 mtu 9706 up
