[OmniOS-discuss] Configuring Jumbo frames

  Howdy!

           I have several bnx interfaces, bnx0 bnx1 bnx2 bnx3. I want to
directly connect bnx2 and bnx3 to another machine (ie. no
switch ), and configure jumbo frames on
these interfaces only. Is this possible and what do I need to do?

    In bnx.conf I found this line

############################################################################
# mtu : Configures the hardware MTU size.  The valid range for this
#       parameter is 60 to 9000.  The default value is 1500.
#
#mtu=1500,1500,1500,1500,1500,1500,1500,1500,1500,1500,1500,1500,1500,1500,1500,1500;

     Should I put something like

mtu=1500,9000;

      in bnx.conf and can I control the mtu on the particular interface
with ifconfig and hostname.bnx files??

         thanx - steve
