Hi All,

How to enable the jumbo frame support in driver ??? Is the only change we have to do is to increase the mtu size of the device to 9000 ? If we are connected to LAN, then whether devices with JUMBO frames "enabled" and "not enabled" can co exist ??

Can any one please clarify it ????

mtu should suffice

Increasing MTU should be sufficient if the driver supports MTU sizes bigger than 1500 (most do, some very old perhaps don't).

Depending on your switches, you may also need to enable jumbo support in the switches.
