Re: Jumbo Frames

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I had a similar problem - I was running a Dell 5324 Switch. Make sure
you have completed the below checklist.

1. Configured jumbo frames on your switch. Save the config and reboot
the switch ( I had to reboot, otherwise it did not work).
2. Changed both ends of the connection to jumbo frames, in my case a
ISCSI SAN and Dell Server.

now try pinging startng at 1400 bytes and working your way up to 9000.

Good luck,
