Jumbo frames for Switch Cat6500

[gilson_machado]

I would like to know What command use to set up a port to transport Jumbo/Giant frames? is there any limitation regards type of module (Fast Eth or Gig Eth)? What is the maximum frame size allowed?

Thanks,

Gilson

You don't specify whether you're running CatOS or Native. 9K frames are supported by most but not all cards, for native see http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/12_1e/swconfig/sw_int.htm#1041111

Thanks - The Switch is runnign CatOS. We are planning to use the jumbo frames between two servers in the same VLAN in the same Gigabit Ethernet blade.

I am reading the document you sent me and looks like we are not going to be able to use the Gigabit blade.

You may consider it solved.

Thanks,

Gilson
