pajaro Feb 2, 2020 #1 Hi, Since I updated to 12.1 I am experiencing problems that cause the network to malfunction randomly. That's why I want to try to disable jumbo frames, but I can't find anywhere how to do it. How are they deactivated? Thanks

Phishfry Feb 2, 2020 #3 You can also set arguments from /etc/rc.conf. Then service netif restart ifconfig_xxx0="inet 192.168.100.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1500" Another way. ifconfig_xxx0="inet 192.168.100.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" create_args_xxx0="mtu 1500" I am using xxx0 as an example. Add your interface for usage.
