Jumbo Frames can support up to 15000 MTU. The default value is 1500 MTU.
Add the following line in the /kernel/drv/ixgbe.conf file:
default_mtu = desired-frame-size
The desired-frame-size value can range from 1500 to 15500.
Reboot the server.
Use the ifconfig command to increase MTUs to allow transmission of Jumbo Frames.
For example, where the device name is ixgbe0, the following command increases MTUs to the maximum:
# ifconfig ixgbe0 plumb mtu 15360 up
