2.Ensure that the ports through which you want the switch to receive jumbo frames are operating at least at gigabit speed. (Check the Mode field in the output for the show interfaces brief < port-list > command.)

3.Use the jumbo command to enable jumbo frames on one or more VLANs statically configured in the switch. (All ports belonging to a jumbo- enabled VLAN can receive jumbo frames.
