restrictions:

    1 jumbo frames are supported on netware 6.

    2 jumbo frames are supported only with gigabit adapters operating with gigabit links, and require switch infrastructure that supports jumbo frames.

    3 jumbo frames are not supported on the first generation intel pro/1000 gigabit server adapter nor in pci-x slots with 82544-based adapters, such as the pro/1000 xt server adapter, pro/1000 xf server adapter, or pro/1000 t desktop adapter.

    4 jumbo frames only work with ip, and ethernet ii must be the only frame type loaded for the board.

    5 the maximum physical packet receive size setting must be set to the size of the jumbo frame.

    also see the discussion of jumbo frames in other advanced features.

    set up

    to set up for jumbo frames, use the following commands:

    set maximum physical receive packet size = [jumbo frame size]

    load ce1000 frametype=ethernet_ii jumbo = [jumbo frame size]

    at the switch, make sure you set the jumbo frame size to be at least 22 bytes larger than what you are setting the server.
