Jumbo Frames
The jumbo frame feature supports a single larger-than-default Ethernet MTU size (1500 bytes) on
the switch. The MTU can be configured between 1500 to 10,240 bytes with default (recommended)
MTU of 9216 bytes. Jumbo frames are switched in hardware with no performance impact for
Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. These interfaces can
be routed interfaces, access switchports, trunk switchports, or EtherChannel groups (observe any
restrictions imposed by the neighboring device). Jumbo frames are supported on VLAN interfaces
(SVIs), but this would only be applicable for software switched traffic. As a general rule (not OS
specific), jumbo frames should be enabled on all or none of the ports in a particular VLAN.
The configurations below show the jumbo frame configuration in both the Cisco Catalyst OS and
Cisco IOS Software.
Cisco Catalyst OS Cisco IOS Software
Set port jumbo gi1/1-2 enable
Show port jumbo (to show)
int range gi1/1—2
mtu 9216
show interface gi1/1 (to show)
The above commands enable MTU 9216 bytes on the gigabit interfaces. This will automatically
change the ip mtu size also. The reverse is not true. Increasing ip mtu 9216 does not increase the
interface MTU size.
High Availability
High availability on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 is one of the primary differentiators of the platform,
allowing for fault avoidance and maximum uptime. With features like Nonstop Forwarding (NSF)
and Stateful Switchover (SSO) combined with Generic Online Diagnostics (GOLD), the Cisco
Catalyst 6500 can maintain packet processing combined with intersystem fault detection giving
superior reliability and uptime.
Generic Online Diagnostics
The GOLD implementation checks the health of hardware components and verifies proper
operation of the system data and control planes. Some tests take effect when the system is
booting up, whereas other tests take effect when the system is operational. As shown in Figure 10,
tests are categorized into two categories: boot-up diagnostics and runtime diagnostics. Multiple
tests can run in parallel.
