Hi, I'm looking for a switch that will be used for NFS traffic on a cluster of about 40 nodes. The nodes will have Broadcom 5704 ethernet. From what I've read, jumbo frames is important for getting the best NFS performance over gigabit ethernet. D-link and Netgear have newer 48 port switches priced below managed switches. The D-link is model DGS-1248T http://dlink.com/products/?sec=2&pid=367 and the Netgear is model GS748T http://netgear.com/products/details/GS748T.php. Each are about $1200 or so. I'm unable to find info on their websites specifying whether these switches support jumbo frames. Anyone know? Thanks, Tom Rockwell Michigan State University
