Solaris 10 11/06
Trying to set a single interface out of four to a higher mtu, having trouble
getting accept-jumbo to work on a single interface, when I set it in
ipge.conf without specifying a device the mtu is raised on all of the
interfaces and aliases. Which means ipge can use jumbo frames. However when
I try to configure it so it enables jumbo frames on a single interface it
fails. Setting it as a "default" will cause some services/apps that bring
IP's with them in failover situations to have a "default" mtu of 8170 (or
similar) so that is not an ideal situation. Here's what I have tried in
ipge.conf:

name="ipge" parent="/pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@2/network@0,1" unit-address="3"
accept-jumbo=1;

I have also tried setting the name to "pci8086,105f". Fails
non-descriptively with a "Failed to configure IPv4 interface(s): ipge3"
every time I attempt the single interface. Although there are many possible
workarounds if anyone could help I need a clean and standard way to do this,
preferably without using a script that runs ndd for each of the 15 non-jumbo
interfaces/aliases on boot.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
