It is disappointing such little info on gigabit Ethernet jumbo frames exists on the internet. All I can find is spec stuff, and implementing it in a large enterprise environment. Basically I have issues with just using it in a soho environment.
I have NICs capable of jumbo frames and a SMC switch capable of jumbo frames. I am able to turn it on with the NICs but it causes the network connection to become unstable and it disconnects a lot. I have it tied into a standard 10/100 switch via a crossover cable. To use jumbo frames does every device on the network have to be compatible or will it auto sense? Do I have to configure things locally more than just enabling jumbo frames on the NIC settings?
Anything you might know about this would be helpful in trouble shooting my issues.
