Configuring Jumbo Frames
As previously mentioned, you need to configure jumbo frames in Windows, on your
virtual switch, and also on your physical network. Because each physical network
switch has a slightly different configuration, it will not be covered here. Usually the
physical switch maximum MTU will be 9,216 or thereabouts. You should check with
your vendor documentation. The figures in this section were captured from Windows
2012, the vSphere Web Client, and vSphere 5.5, and would be similar to vSphere 5.1. If
you are using a different version of Windows or vSphere, refer to the product
documentation for details on configuring jumbo frames.
