I've recently tried to use bge interfaces with jumbo frames on a Sun Fire V240 with Solaris 10u4 8/07 with a current recommended patch. I have had problems like the author's, so I found this thread :)
The trick which helped me was editing /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/bge.conf (not /kernel/drv/bge.conf, it wasn't noticed by the system). I started out by adding the same set of lines as above, to this bge.conf: # see http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=48569 default_mtu=9000; default-mtu=9000; #default_mtu=8000; ... and to /etc/system: * jumbo frames set bge:bge_jumbo_enable = 1 Then I also played around commenting away stuff to find the minimal needed config. I found that in my case, the line in /etc/system is irrelevant, and /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/bge.conf should only contain its default settings and this: default_mtu=9000; There's another problem: now all of my interfaces get MTU=9000 :( Thanks to everyone who shared their knowledge and configs on this problem :) This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
