How to enable Jumbo Frames on GS116Ev2?
Hello, I have a new GS116Ev2. It came with the latest firmware installed (v2.0.1.26). I am trying to enable Jumbo Frames. I can not find the setting either in the Web interface or in the ProSafe ...

Hi BobGear,
Welcome to Netgear Community!
For Jumbo Frame Size, we did doc in product data sheet (Jumbo Frame Support: Up to 9K packet size), it's enable by default and can't be modified. Also can't view it from Web GUI or Prosafe Utility tool. Btw, GS116Ev2 is a Web-Managed plus switch, didn't support to manage via telnet or SSH.
Let's know if you have further query, thanks.

HI BroGear,
Welcome to our community,
Normally when the option is not available in our GUI is due to that by default the jumbo frames are enabled. That's the same case as our Unmanaged switches where we support Jumbo frames but you don't need to conifgure it.
Are you seeing any packet drops using frame sizes over 1500 ?
