Increase size of Data Frame in HP UX

[patrick coutinho]

Hi,

Is it possible to increase the SIZE of the data frame in HP-UX 11i. We have GIGE interface and are facing some performance issues. Was wondering whether we could increase the frame size and try and how. Also what has to be done on the switch side to ensure compatability.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Sure you can... got to:

http://docs.hp.com

and do a search on 'jumbo frames'

to turn up lot of info on how to do this.

To incerease performance you can also try to use TCP Segmentation Offload feature available in enhancement software for GigEther-01 driver. It's available for free from:
