JUMBO FRAME COMMANDS
Certain switches can support jumbo frames (frames larger than the standard Ethernet frame size of 1518 bytes). To transmit frames of up to 9216 bytes (and 9220 bytes tagged), the user can increase the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size from the default of 1536 by enabling the Jumbo Frame command.
The jumbo frame commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate parameters) in the following table.
