Jumbo Frames

Jumbo frames improve network performance. You must have a 1

 

 

Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet) network that supports jumbo frames. Select

 

 

the largest size of frame that all of your network devices (including

 

 

computer Ethernet cards and switches, hubs, or routers) support.

 

 

When enabled, you can choose between 4 KB, 8 KB, and 9 KB frame

 

 

sizes.

 

 

Note: If you enable jumbo frames on the NSA in a network that

 

 

does not support them, you will lose access to the NSA. If

 

 

this occurs, you will have to restore the factory default

 

 

configuration. Push the RESET button on the NSA’s rear

 

 

panel and release it after you hear a beep.
