BABY GIANT in Ethernet

What is "BABY GIANT" and "JUMPO" frame in TCP/IP Networking and Ethernet

What is "BABY GIANT FRAME " and "JUMPO FRAME" in TCP/IP Networking ? The maximum size of an Ethernet frame should not exceed 1500 bytes + 18 bytes of Header If the size of an ethernet frame is more than 1518 bytes, then it is called as Baby Giant Frame or Jumpo frame. 1519 to 1600 bytes means Baby Giant Frame 1601 to 9216 bytes means Jumpo Frame. Mainly, the Switches are handling the Ethernet Frames. But Most of the switches do not accept Baby giant and Jumpos. So what? Why I am going to increase the size of a frame? Taken this situation. When you are using VLAN (which uses 802.1Q tagging), four more extra bytes will be inserted into the frame making the frame as a giant frame (1518 +4 = 1822 bytes) Yes, yes, How to sort out this problem? If a port is declared as TRUNK PORT (instead of ACCESS PORT), then they will be able to handle these 1822-sized frames having the vlan tagging. Is the any other method? By configuration also we can increase the MTU size. (MTU stands for Maximum Transmission Unit). Switch(config)#system mtu 1552
