ESVT does not run with Size Frame bigger than 1518 bytes

Hello all,

I am using two X770, and I am testing the throughput using the ESVT tool.

For that test, I enable the jumbo frames in both switches, and create the test vlan to test a 40Gb link.

If I run the test with a Size Frame of 64 or 1518, it runs fine, and with no problems.

But, If I increment the size to another value more than 1518 it does not work.

Do you know if this is a limitation of the tool ESVT?

I also increase the ip-mtu size of the vlan to 9194, but with no success.

create vlan test40Gb tag 1040
configure vlan test40Gb add port 1:101 tagged
configure vlan test40Gb ipaddress 10.0.40.1/24 (and 10.0.40.2/24 in the other switch)
enable ipforwarding test40Gb

enable jumbo-frame ports all
configure ip-mtu 9194 "test40Gb"

run esvt traffic-test "test40Gb" loopback-port 1:97 peer-switch-ip 10.0.40.2 packet-size 9000 rate 40 Gbps duration 60 seconds

Thanks for any suggestions.

This is a known issue. This should get fixed but it's not currently scoped for any release. https://gtacknowledge.extremenetworks...
