Last Modified: May 29, 2024

Opened: Mar 15, 2019

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Packet length observed (using tcpdump or any other tool) is 1514 bytes.

Impact

Jumbo frames do not work. Note: This is a limitation in the drivers themselves, and is not unique to BIG-IP systems. The same issue occurs if the MTU change is attempted from the Linux command line instead.

Conditions

1. Hyper-V SR-IOV NICs are in use on the BIG-IP system. 2. VLAN MTU is greater than 1500 on the BIG-IP system, and MTU is greater than 1500 on client and server NICs.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

None
