Broadcom BCM5709C Jumbo Frames on Windows 2008R2

  • 772

I have a broadcom bcm5709c quad port nic (gigabit netxtreme II); I download the broadcom utility from there site, I can setup teaming and all, but I can't seem to find the setting to enable jumbo frames at all ?

Can you please assist or provide some pointers as to where I would enable this setting ?

OS is Windows 2008R2 Enterprise Edition 2 x Quad Port Broadcom BCM5709C NICs.

Thanks and will look forward to your suggestion

EDIT :

Here is the screen shot, I have broadcom control suite application 4.0 and I can't seem to find the MTU / JUMBO setting in here, it shows me the MTU = 1500 in information tab but no edit option.

Do you think i should download the drivers from broadcom and install to see if that helps ?

  1. In the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 3, select the head of the NIC, go to the configurations tab and look for "Jumbo MTU."

    P.S. Here's a good manual for BACS3 at Dell.com.
