A key in the design is to use the full bandwidth of the NICs. That means configuring the packet or payload size of each NIC, aka configuring Jumbo Frames. You can do this by hand, but that\u2019s going to:<\/p>\n
You can configure this setting using PowerShell. It\u2019s not immediately discoverable, but here\u2019s how I discovered it for my NICs.<\/p>\n I ran Get-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty, targeting a 10 GbE NIC. That returned the advanced settings and their values of the NIC. These aren\u2019t the traditional attributes. Each setting has two values:<\/p>\n I knew from the GUI that the DisplayName was Packet Size and that the desired DisplayValue would be 9014. Now I could configure the setting:<\/p>\n Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty <NIC Name> \u2013DisplayName \u201cPacket Size\u201d \u2013DisplayValue \u201c9014\u201d<\/p>\n I could run that command over and over for each NIC. Consistent Device Naming (CDN) would make this easier, if my servers were new enough to have CDN Get-NetAdapter * | Where-Object { $_.TransmitLinkSpeed \u2013EQ \u201c10000000000\u201d } | Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty \u2013DisplayName \u201cPacket Size\u201d \u2013DisplayValue \u201c9014\u201d<\/p>\n The first half of that line finds the 10 GbE NICs, thus filtering out the 1 GbE NICs. Now I can use that line as part of a greater script to configure my hosts.<\/p>\n Another new version of Windows Server, more features, and another set of PowerShell scripts to write My host design will be taking advantage of the fact that I have 4 * 10 GbE NICs in each host to play with, and I\u2019ll be implementing my recent converged networks design for SMB 3.0 storage (use … Continue reading “Configuring Jumbo Frames Using PowerShell”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[181,80,87,189,195,118,120],"class_list":["post-15166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hyper-v","tag-hyper-v","tag-networking","tag-powershell","tag-scripting","tag-virtualisation","tag-windows-server-2012","tag-windows-server-2012-r2"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15166\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Untitled\"](\"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Untitled.png\" "\\"Untitled\\"")
