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
