Configuring cut-through Layer 2 forwarding

About cut-through Layer 2 forwarding

A cut-through forwarding-enabled device forwards a frame after it receives the first 64 bytes of the frame. This feature reduces the transmission time of a frame and enhances forwarding performance.

Restrictions and guidelines for cut-through Layer 2 forwarding configuration

With cut-through forwarding, the device forwards CRC-error frames because it starts forwarding frames before their CRC field is received.

The cut-through forwarding does not take effect for traffic from multiple ingress ports to the same destination port or traffic from one ingress port to multiple destination ports.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

2.     Enable cut-through forwarding.

By default, cut-through forwarding is disabled.
