Chapter 9 Configuring Interfaces Configuring Optional Interface Features Note • Jumbo frame support fragments routed traffic in software on the MSFC. • Jumbo frame support does not fragment bridged traffic. Ethernet Ports Bridged and Routed Traffic Size Check at Ingress 10, 10/100, and 100 Mbps Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet Ports Jumbo frame support compares ingress traffic size with the global LAN port MTU size at ingress 10, 10/100, and 100 Mbps Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports that have a nondefault MTU size configured. The port drops traffic that is oversized. You can configure the global LAN port MTU size (see the "Configuring the Global Egress LAN Port MTU Size" section on page 9-13). Bridged and Routed Traffic Size Check at Ingress Gigabit Ethernet Ports Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports configured with a nondefault MTU size accept frames containing packets of any size larger than 64 bytes. With a nondefault MTU size configured, Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports do not check for oversize ingress frames. Routed Traffic Size Check on the PFC For traffic that needs to be routed, Jumbo frame support on the PFC compares traffic sizes to the configured MTU sizes and provides Layer 3 switching for jumbo traffic between interfaces configured with MTU sizes large enough to accommodate the traffic. Between interfaces that are not configured with large enough MTU sizes, if the "do not fragment bit" is not set, the PFC sends the traffic to the MSFC to be fragmented and routed in software. If the "do not fragment bit" is set, the PFC drops the traffic. Bridged and Routed Traffic Size Check at Egress 10, 10/100, and 100 Mbps Ethernet Ports 10, 10/100, and 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN ports configured with a nondefault MTU size transmit frames containing packets of any size larger than 64 bytes. With a nondefault MTU size configured, 10, 10/100, and 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN ports do not check for oversize egress frames. Bridged and Routed Traffic Size Check at Egress Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet Ports Jumbo frame support compares egress traffic size with the global egress LAN port MTU size at egress Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports that have a nondefault MTU size configured. The port drops traffic that is oversized. You can configure the global LAN port MTU size (see the "Configuring the Global Egress LAN Port MTU Size" section on page 9-13). These sections describe configuring nondefault MTU sizes on Ethernet ports: • Ethernet Port Overview, page 9-11 • Layer 3 Ethernet Ports, page 9-12 • Layer 2 Ethernet Ports, page 9-12 Ethernet Port Overview Configuring a nondefault MTU size on a 10, 10/100, or 100 Mbps Ethernet port limits ingress packets to the global LAN port MTU size and permits egress traffic of any size larger than 64 bytes. Configuring a nondefault MTU size on a Gigabit Ethernet port permits ingress packets of any size larger than 64 bytes and limits egress traffic to the global LAN port MTU size.

Configuring Interfaces

Configuring Optional Interface Features

Note

•

Jumbo frame support fragments routed traffic in software on the MSFC.

•

Jumbo frame support does not fragment bridged traffic.

Bridged and Routed Traffic Size Check at Ingress 10, 10/100, and 100 Mbps Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet Ports

Jumbo frame support compares ingress traffic size with the global LAN port MTU size at ingress 10,

10/100, and 100 Mbps Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports that have a nondefault MTU size

configured. The port drops traffic that is oversized. You can configure the global LAN port MTU size

(see the

“Configuring the Global Egress LAN Port MTU Size” section on page 9-13

Bridged and Routed Traffic Size Check at Ingress Gigabit Ethernet Ports

Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports configured with a nondefault MTU size accept frames containing packets

of any size larger than 64 bytes. With a nondefault MTU size configured, Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports

do not check for oversize ingress frames.

Routed Traffic Size Check on the PFC

For traffic that needs to be routed, Jumbo frame support on the PFC compares traffic sizes to the

configured MTU sizes and provides Layer 3 switching for jumbo traffic between interfaces configured

with MTU sizes large enough to accommodate the traffic. Between interfaces that are not configured

with large enough MTU sizes, if the “do not fragment bit” is not set, the PFC sends the traffic to the

MSFC to be fragmented and routed in software. If the “do not fragment bit” is set, the PFC drops the

traffic.

Bridged and Routed Traffic Size Check at Egress 10, 10/100, and 100 Mbps Ethernet Ports

10, 10/100, and 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN ports configured with a nondefault MTU size transmit frames

containing packets of any size larger than 64 bytes. With a nondefault MTU size configured, 10, 10/100,

and 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN ports do not check for oversize egress frames.

Bridged and Routed Traffic Size Check at Egress Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet Ports

Jumbo frame support compares egress traffic size with the global egress LAN port MTU size at egress

Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports that have a nondefault MTU size configured. The

port drops traffic that is oversized. You can configure the global LAN port MTU size (see the

“Configuring the Global Egress LAN Port MTU Size” section on page 9-13

Ethernet Ports

These sections describe configuring nondefault MTU sizes on Ethernet ports:

Ethernet Port Overview, page 9-11

Layer 2 Ethernet Ports, page 9-12

Ethernet Port Overview

Configuring a nondefault MTU size on a 10, 10/100, or 100 Mbps Ethernet port limits ingress packets

to the global LAN port MTU size and permits egress traffic of any size larger than 64 bytes.

Configuring a nondefault MTU size on a Gigabit Ethernet port permits ingress packets of any size larger

than 64 bytes and limits egress traffic to the global LAN port MTU size.
