How to verify Jumbo frame support for AP and controller 

Mar 31, 2017 06:03 AM

Requirement:

After enabling jumbo frames if we want to verify the MTU for controller and AP.



Solution:

We can check below command.

 

show datapath port 

 

 

Datapath Port Table Entries

---------------------------

 

Flags: Q - trunk,  T - trusted, B - blocked,  L - LAG

       M - tunneled node, X - xSec, J - Jumbo enabled

 

Port      PVID  Ingress ACL  Egress ACL  Session ACL   MTU       Flags

--------  ----  -----------  ----------  -----------   ------    ------

0/0/0     1000  0            0           0            9000      TJ

0/0/1     1     0            0           0            9000      QTJ

0/0/5     1     0            0           0            1500      B

 

 

However, the bss-table  output shows the tunnel MTU.

For AP, we can see the MTU for eth0 and Eth1 in below output taken from AP- techsupport.
