Jumbo Packet Enables the network adapter to
transmit and receive oversized
Ethernet frames that are greater
than 1514 bytes, but less than or
equal to 9000 bytes in length
(9600 bytes for network adapters
that operate at 10 Gbps). This
property requires the presence of
a switch that is able to process
jumbo frames. This property is
only available for Broadcom
NetXtreme adapters.
Frame size is set at 1500 bytes by
default. To increase the size of the
received frames, raise the byte
quantity in 500-byte increments.
1. In Microsoft Windows, right-
click the Network Adapter in
Network Connections, and
then click Properties.
2. Click the Configure button and
then the Advanced tab.
3. Enter the desired Jumbo
Packet value.
Locally
Administered
Address
The Locally Administered Address
is a user-defined MAC address
that is used in place of the MAC
address originally assigned to the
network adapter. Every adapter in
the network must have its own
unique MAC address. This locally
administered address consists of a
12-digit hexadecimal number.
 Value - Assigns a unique node
address for the adapter.
 Not Present (default) - Uses
the factory-assigned node
address on the adapter.
The appropriate assigned ranges
and exceptions for the locally
administered address include the
following:
 The range is
00:00:00:00:00:01 to
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FD.
 Do not use a multicast address
(least significant bit of the high
byte = 1).
 Do not use all 0s or all Fs.
1. In Microsoft Windows, right-
click the Network Adapter in
Network Connections, and
then click Properties.
2. Click the Configure button and
then the Advanced tab.
3. Enter the desired network
address value.
