You have been tasked with maintaining a network that is jumbo frame enabled. What does this mean?
A) The MTU for the network can be as high as 9198 bytes.
B) The network is not based on the Ethernet standard.
C) Fragmented frames will be consolidated into whole frames before being sent.
D) The MTU for the network is set at 65,535 bytes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enabling jumbo frames allows for an increase in the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size, which can be as high as 9198 bytes. This allows for more data to be transmitted in a single frame, potentially increasing network performance. Option B is incorrect as jumbo frames can be used with Ethernet. Option C is incorrect as frames will not be consolidated, but rather transmitted as a single larger frame. Option D is incorrect as the maximum MTU size for Ethernet networks is 9000 bytes.
