Cisco Switching/Routing :: Enabling Jumbo Frame On N7K With FEX Attached
Oct 4, 2012I have a pair of N7K's in vPC topology with some FEXs attached. I am looking into enabling Jumbo frame on the N7K as well as the FEX. I understand Jumbo frame is enabled globally by default.
My question is I have some interfaces in a port-channel that I need jumbo frame enabled. Do I enable it at the port-channel interface or at the physical interface ? and is the change disruptive to the network ? I am running NX-OS 6.0.2.
Cisco Switching/Routing :: Enabling Jumbo Frames On Existing 3560
Mar 1, 2011I have a pair of Catalyst 3560 GB switches that are trunked with two of the standard ports, and that have trunk ports connecting to a failover pair of PIX 515e's. We're considering adding a pair of cluster database nodes and an iSCSI SAN, both of which would need a dedicated interconnect VLAN that I'd like to employ Jumbo frames on. I don't necessarily need the VLANs to traverse the firewall trunks since they're private interconnects, but I need each host to traverse the switch trunks.
Since it seems I can only enable Jumbo frames on the entire switch (current standard frame size is 1500 and jumbo is also 1500), when I enable it what kind of possible negative impact could this have on my trunked ports as well as my host connections? I've read mixed reviews of users with iSCSI SAN devices seeing terrible performance when enabling jumbo frames so I'm apprehensive about enabling them on an existing network.
Cisco Switching/Routing :: Enabling Jumbo Frame Con Catalyst 4500 WS-X4648-RJ45-E
Apr 9, 2013I want to enable jumbo frame con a Catalyst 4500, specifically in the WS-X4648-RJ45-E card. (running this IOS version Version 12.2(53)SG1).
For what I checked, this are the only needed commands:
vlan xxx
mtu 9000
interface port 4
mtu 9000
exit
I want to be sure that these are the only needed comands and that they won t generate any disruption.
Cisco Switching/Routing :: Full Switch Outage After Enabling Jumbo Frames On Nexus 5010
Nov 22, 2011I attempted to enable jumbo frames on a Nexus 5010 (NX-OS version 4.2(1)N1(1)). I created the policy map below and lost access to the switch.
policy-map type network-qos jumbo
class type network-qos class-default
mtu 9216
After recovery I see from the logs that all vlans and interface were suspended. I've attempted to look for reasons for a compatibility issue but I am unable to find what is checked and what could have been incompatible. The other troubling thing is the adjacent switch suspended its interfaces too but no change was done there. What I need to look out for so that this does not happen again?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6509 Jumbo Frames Across Trunk And Sites
Oct 25, 2011I understand that jumbo frames need to be enabled end-to-end. I have two ESX hosts connected at each site. I want to enable jumbo frames for those ports, but what if not all host on the ESX are using jumbo frames, will I have drops and connection failures? So if i have two sites, each with a 6509 connected via a trunk and need to enable jumbo frames for a vlan between the sites how do I accomplish this?If I enable jumbo frames on the trunk link how does that impact other traffic between the sites?

Jan 8, 2013I have two switches: Nexus 3064 (ver 5.0(3)U1(2)) and Cisco 6509.The 6509:
1 x WS-x6708-10GE 8 port Ten Gig module version 3.5, firmware 12.2(18r)S1.
2 x sup 720's, with PFC3A.
2 x WS-x6348-rj-45
4 x WS-x6748-ge-tx
The IOS is ipservicesk9-mz 12.2(33)SXH8b.Both switches have been running fine for quite a while(not connected to each other). I then ran a fiber connection between port Nexus:1/48 and 6509:Te9/1.When I ping (of any packet size) from the Nexus to the 6509 @172.19.4.254, the 6509's CPU goes to 100%. On occasion, we will get 1 out of 20 packets back in the reply.I reduced the MTU size on the three 6509 parameters until the CPU stopped going 100%.The magic number is 4175 bytes. 4176 and higher == 100% CPU.I am willing to put the fiber link to 1500, but how does one change that for just one port on the Nexus? I tried and it refuses to set the mtu. I also tried to setup a new service-policy but that didn't seem to work either.The Nexus users are all jumbo frame users. The users on the 6509 are all 1500 byte frame users, except for one user on a 1 gig port (ws-6748-ge-tx) line card. It is this user whom would like jumbos.
Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3750-X SVI Jumbo Frame Support?
Nov 24, 2012I've had a read through the docs for the 3750 series switches, but nothing that definately says that jumbo frame routing will work on a SVI.One part specifically I'd like clarification on is:The default maximum transmission unit (MTU) size for frames received and sent on all interfaces on the switch or switch stack is 1500 bytes. You can change the MTU size to support switched jumbo frames on all Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and to support routed frames on all routed ports. It says supported routed frames on all routed ports, but this in the past has meant physical ports, and not Virtual ones.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 5000 Jumbo Frames
Apr 16, 2013We have a requirement to send span traffic to a destination port for monitoring purposes on two 5000s with some 2000 fex boxes attached.
Some of the servers are making use of frames larger than 1500. we have not changed any mtu configuration on the 5000 since installation, and I can see the policy maps is still on 1500.
My first assumption would be that frames larger than 1500 will not be dropped, but it seemingly not (see below). is there a reason why the switch would forward jumbo frames? Also, is there a limitation on MTU for span traffic? There is a MTU command under the span session, but the maximum is 1518. From what I can read the frame will be truncated if it exceeds this. Does that mean the fragments will be dropped?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Jumbo Frames Dropped On Nexus 7010?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Jumbo 9000 Packets Configured But Not Working?
Feb 23, 2012I have a switch that I have configured for jumbo packets, but they don't seem to be functioning. I have set system mtu jumbo 9000. The hosts are connected via 2x EtherChannel links. The hosts are jumbo frame enabled, and can ping their own local address using jumbo packets & do-not-fragment flags on the pings. They cannot, however, ping each other or the switch that way - it always says that the packet requires fragmentation. I know the attached machines (they're all VMs) and virtual switches support jumbos because I can ping within the virtual interfaces of the VMs. It's just traffic that goes over the switch that fragments.The switch is a WS-2960G-48TC. Here are the various outputs, with a section of config at the end.
hrnacancwtdevs3#show system mtu
System MTU size is 1500 bytes
System Jumbo MTU size is 9000 bytes

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 3064 Jumbo Frames Configuration?
May 23, 2012I have a Cisco Nexus 3064 that I am using as part of a flat network for the Lab. I have 30 Virtualization Servers(MS HyperV and VMware vSphere) connected to this switch and I want to enable jumbo frames. The Virtualization Servers are able to ping the local VM's using 8K bytes. However I am unable to ping from server to server using 8K bytes. I have configuration (in abbreviation). All the servers are in the same network which I configured as L2 ports with the "switchport" command. However, the interface "MTU" command is unavailable in L2 mode. I am only able to get the interface "MTU" command only in L3 mode with the "no switchport" command on the interface.
# int eth1/2-45
# no switchport
# mtu 9216
# no shut
I can ping the servers with less than 1500 bytes, but anything larger fails.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Jumbo Frames Coming From Catalyst 3100?
Dec 2, 2012I have a Cisco Catalyst 3100 blade in a Dell server chassis that is trunked to a 6509.
When doing a protocol capture, I see large frames being sent from one of the servers in the chassis.
Example:
TCP:[Continuation to #1701] [Bad CheckSum]Flags=...AP..., SrcPort=HTTP(80), DstPort=2667, PayloadLen=2831, Seq=1489611217 - 1489614048, Ack=1719592331, Win=65535
I see lengths up to 6900+ bites coming from the server.
The switch has the global MTU set to 1500
system mtu routing 1500
and I can't seem to set this at the interface level. The server is configured to send 1500 length frames. Why am I seeing these jumbos? (the server is Windows 2003)
Cisco Switching/Routing :: Implementing Jumbo Frames On Nexus 5548
Apr 16, 2013The server team has asked me to implement jumbo frames on a single VLAN, the one they use for v motion. We have two pairs of 5548s, each pair running VPC for most connections. I am aware of many postings that describe how to enable jumbo frames globally, like this:
policy-map type network-qos jumbo
class type network-qos class-default
[code].....
I am not clear how I can extend this principle to one VLAN only.
Also, I am aware of a posting [URL], that shows some pitfalls of implementing jumbo frames in a VPC configuration. Pretty well all my connections are VPC, including all the FEXes, which are all dual-homed. In many cases, the VPC extends through to the servers so that the servers run port.channels across two FEXes. I am unclear whether the pitfalls are still valid, or whether I have to wait until my next maintenance slot (6 months away) to implement jumbo frames. Can jumbo frames be implement safely on the fly? How does enabling jumbo frames fit in with "conf sync" mode?
Cisco Switching/Routing :: Nexus 7000 Determining Jumbo MTU Size On Interface
Feb 7, 2011I am trying to determin if Jumbo frames are enabled on out Nexus 7000, and I am getting mixed info back from the swtich.I looks like the system jumbo MTU size is 9216 by default, but the interfaces all say the MTU of the interface is 1500 bytes. According to this article, the interface MTU should read 9216 is the jumbo frames are enabled globally. Is this correct. Is there a way to verify if Jumbo frame support is turned on? [code]

Oct 14, 2012We have a number of sites which have high-speed L2 links which terminate on our L3 switches at each site. The ports are between the sites are placed in routed mode.
I would like to use Jumbo frame between two of the network which will communicate across sites and 1500 mtu on the rest, is this something which is possible?
From my understanding is the mtu is set on the interface therefore if I set the mtu on the L2 link ports on both sites to 9000 then would this cause a problem for the 1500?
