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

A frame is forwarded before its CRC field is received, and thus CRC-error frames are forwarded instead of dropped.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

2.     Enable cut-through forwarding.
