-If you set a JumboFrame, it will be unable to transmit and receive the data of IEEE802.3 form.

-If you use two or more cards, or VLAN interfaces, enabling JumboFrame function becomes effective to all cards and all interfaces.

-When you perform file transfer by FTP, please set MTU size to less than 8232byte.

-Please use Jumbo Frames function only in 1000 Mbps communication. If you use Jumbo Frames in 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, you won't be able to use the Jumbo Frame function.

4.3.2.3To use ndd(1M) Utility

By using the ndd command, mode of operation can be changed dynamically.

Below shows how to reference and set each parameter by ndd command with examples.

Reference:

ndd -get /dev/fjgi 'param'

(param: each parameter)

example) # ndd -get /dev/fjgi 'link_status'

Settings:

ndd -set /dev/fjgi 'param' value

(param: each parameter, value: each

value)

 

 

 

example1) # ndd

-set

/dev/fjgi

'instance' 2

example2) # ndd

-set

/dev/fjgi

'adv_autoneg_cap' 0

To reflect the changed setting:

ndd -set /dev/fjgi 'instance' value

(Set the relevant interface instance number.) ndd -set /dev/fjgi 'adv_autoneg_cap' 0

(Once, turn off the function of AutoNegotiation.) ndd -set /dev/fjgi 'adv_autoneg_cap' 1

(Then, turn on the function of AutoNegotiation.)

example) In case, to set the setting of fjgi0 1000Full => 100Half.

# ndd

-set

/dev/fjgi

'instance' 0

 

# ndd

-set

/dev/fjgi 'adv_1000fdx_cap' 0

# ndd

-set

/dev/fjgi 'adv_1000hdx_cap' 0

# ndd

-set

/dev/fjgi

'adv_100fdx_cap'

# ndd

-set

/dev/fjgi 'adv_autoneg_cap' 0

# ndd

-set
