Description
Hi, i'm trying to change the mtu settings to activate jumbo frames
No problem on guest, i can set to whatever value.
But on host, either with ifconfig or networksetup, i can't:
bash-3.2$ sudo ifconfig vboxnet6 mtu 9000 ifconfig: ioctl (set mtu): Operation not supported on socket bash-3.2$ sudo networksetup -setMTU vboxnet6 9000 Could not find hardware port or device named vboxnet6. ** Error: The parameters were not valid. bash-3.2$
versions
bash-3.2$ VBoxManage --version 4.3.6r91406 bash-3.2$ uname -ar Darwin ***.fr 12.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 12.5.0: Sun Sep 29 13:33:47 PDT 2013; root:xnu-2050.48.12~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
