RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Yvugenfi@redhat.com 2020-06-01 10:31:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
This is a new HLK requirement for Window Server 2019:
Ethernet devices must support Jumbo Frames. MTU values in the User Interface must include the Ethernet header size of 14 Bytes. The “*JumboPacket” standardized keyword in the Windows Registry is currently used for setting the MTU size and should remain as an enumerable value with supported values being 1514, 4088, and 9014.

Hi Yan,

If possible I can get a test build and verify steps? 
I want to try add a new case to our test plan.

Thanks~

Hi Peixiu,

Sorry, there is still no downstream build available.

Best regards,
Yan.

When the BZ becomes modified, there are 2 things to verify this BZ:
1. Regular HCK
2. Get/Set  jumbo frames configuration using powershell, see for example https://blog.workinghardinit.work/2012/06/11/configuring-jumbo-frames-with-powershell-in-windows-server-2012/

Hi, Yuri

Regarding the replacement of the MTU keyword with JumboPacket, I have a question that needs your help:
1.Is it possible to set the value of JumboPacket through netsh command? If so, can you tell me the specific usage?

Best Regards
Lei Yang

IMO yes, this should be possible as well as any other parameter of NETKVM specified in the INF/registry
You should use "*JumboPacket" parameter name and take in account that this is (MTU + 14), i.e.
for MTU=9000 you should use "*JumboPacket" of 9014
