Certification Program Name:Jumbo Frame Support
Certification Program ID:10614
Certification Program Category:Switch Interoperability
Description:This verifies a device's ability to forward a frame of 9000 bytes in a multi-vendor environment.
Interpretation:Devices earning this certification have demonstrated interoperability transmitting Jumbo frames across all possible vendor combinations. 2007 Certified Product Set: 3Com Switch 4200G 3Com Switch 4500G 3Com Switch 5500G-EI Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850-P24X* Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9800* Cisco Catalyst 6509-E Enterasys SecureStack™ A2 * Enterasys SecureStack™ B3 Enterasys SecureStack™ C3 Enterasys Matrix™ N-DFE * Enterasys Matrix™ X Extreme Summit X450a-24t Extreme BlackDiamond 8806 Foundry FastIron Edge X424 Premium Foundry FastIron SX 800 Foundry NetIron MLX-4 Foundry BigIron RX-4 Fujitsu XG700 Fujitsu XG2000 IBM Nortel Layer 2-3 GbE Switch Module IBM Nortel 10Gb Uplink Ethernet Switch Module IBM Nortel 10Gb Ethernet Switch Module HP GbE2c L2/3 Ethernet Blade Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem Note: Alcatel OmniSwitch 6850-P24X, Alcatel OmniSwitch 9800 and Enterasys Matrix™ N-DFE only support Jumbo Frames on GbE and 10GbE interfaces. Hence they did not interoperate with Enterasys SecureStack™ A2 switch which only had FastEthernet ports. 2004 Product Set: 3Com: SuperStack 3 Switch 3870 Cisco Systems: Catalyst 6509 Dell: PowerConnect 5324 Extreme: BlackDiamond 10808 Foundry: FastIron Edge 9604 Foundry: BigIron MG8 HP: ProCurve 2848 2003 Product Set: Cisco Systems: Catalyst 6500 Dell PowerConnect 5224 Enterasys Matrix N3 Nortel Passport 8600
Product Applicability:This certification is applicable to all LAN switches. It is an optional component of the 2003/2004 Switch Interoperability Study.
Testing Overview:The Tolly Group will validate that when a 9000 byte frame is generated, the switch under test (SUT) forwards the entire 9000 byte frame without frame loss. An Acterna Domino Fast Ethernet Internetwork in-line analyzer will be used to validate the size of the frame.
