Setting Up Jumbo Frames in Windows

  1. Start Intel® PROSet and click the Advanced tab.
  2. Select Jumbo Frames from the list of functions on the left and set it to "Enabled" in the value field.
  3. Set your desired packet size (based on network capability).

Common frame sizes are displayed, but the entire range (1,500-16,000 bytes) is available. All equipment on the network must also support the larger frame size, and the switch should be set 8 bytes larger than what is specified in Intel PROSet.

For additional information, click Help in the Intel PROSet window.
