NX4 networking question

Question

Hi All on my nx4 when i enter the server_netstat server_2 -i command it lists all the physical connections and the MTU is shown as 9000 When i enter the server_ifconfig server_2 ALL command the MTU is shown as 1500 can the MTU be set on the device or is it picking up this because the switches are jumbo frame enabled should i set the MTU to 9000 on the interfaces also Thanks for any help or suggestions, were checking the config due to some cifs performance issues when copying some large amounts of data Paul

Hi,

the server_netstat -i shows what MTU the device ( i.e cge0, cge1 ) is capable.

The actual MTU for the interface is shown with the server_ifconfig command.

If you want to change theMTU for an specific interface, use the syntax below :

$ server_ifconfig <movername> > mtu=<MTUbytes>
