8.2.6.22 Jumbo Frames

The Jumbo Frame Size (JFRAME) bit in the Network Configuration register allows the GMAC, in its default configuration, to receive jumbo frames up to 10240 bytes in size. This operation does not form part of the IEEE 802.3 specification and is normally disabled. When jumbo frames are enabled, frames received with a frame size greater than 10240 bytes are discarded.

The GMAC can be configured to receive jumbo frames up to 16383 bytes by writing the RX Jumbo Frame Max Length register (GMAC_RJFML).
