Using jumbo frames with Fujitsu gigabit Ethernet adaptors


While performing some testing a few weeks back, I needed to enable jumbo frames on one of our Fujitsu 250s. This was accomplished with the following three steps:

​1. Add the following line to /etc/system: $ echo "set fjgi:fjgi_jumbo=1" >> /etc/systemd

​2. If the default 9000 byte MTU isn’t ideal, add the preferred MTU to the /etc/fjmtu.fjgiX file $ echo "8192" >> /etc/fjmtu.fjgi0

​3. Reboot the system.

If everything works correctly, ifconfig will report the larger mtu.
