Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install latest 1906 build on RT-N16
2. Configure jumbo frame on a NAS box
3. Attempt to access NAS box = failure.

Cause - MTU on local network is 1500 and there's no way to increase it to 9000.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Ability to configure to enable jumbo frames

What version of the product are you using?
1.9.2.7-rtn-1906

Please provide any additional information below.

Unfortunately, original Broadcom driver DON'T support jumbo frames. Unless we 
get access to BCM53115 documentation (closed by Broadcom) or Broadcom itself 
adds jumbo support to et driver, problem resolution is impossible.

Original RT-16N firmware does jumbo frames. Possible to rip driver from there?

I can't see working jumbo support in original FW. Please describe how did you 
reach such results, especially how did you increase MTU.

I do know for a fact that when i enabled jumbo frames on my NAS with original 
firmware on the router, all was good. when i flashed 1.9.2.7-rtn-1906, i wasn't 
able to access NAS until i disabled jumbo frames on it. I will flash original 
firmware tonight and let you know

Personally, I can't got working jumbo even with original FW + my PC with 
gigabit Intel NIC. 

Anyway, you can try to turn it on in 53115 switch itself, similar to original 
FW, by issue following commands:

nvram set jumbo_frame_enable=1
nvram set jumbo_frame_size=7000
nvram commit

don't forget to reboot

P.S. I'm not sure about max. frame size, theoretically it might be 9720
