Deployment Guide

33 VxFlex Network Deployment Guide using Dell EMC Networking 25GbE switches and OS10EE
To enable jumbo frames for the SVM, perform the following steps:
1. Run the ifconfig command to get the NIC information. The following is an example from an SVM
deployed in this solution, VxFlex-172.16.33.12:
VxFlex-172-16-33-12:~ # ifconfig

In this example, eth1 and eth2 correspond to VxFlex Data Network 1 (subnet 172.16.34.0/24, VLAN
1634) and VxFlex Data Network 2 (subnet 172.16.35.0/24, VLAN 1635). Administrative access uses
Eth0.
2. Using the interface name, edit the appropriate network configuration files, and append MTU value of
9000 to the end of the configuration. The following is an example for interface eth1:
VxFlex-172-16-33-12:~ # vi /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1
STARTMODE=onboot
USERCONTROL=no
BOOTPROTO=static
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=172.16.34.12
MTU=9000
