How to Enable Jumbo Frames on AMD Developer Cloud GPU Droplets
Validated on 3 Jun 2025 • Last edited on 3 Jun 2025
AMD Developer Cloud gives developers direct access to AMD GPU acceleration built on DigitalOcean infrastructure. Its preconfigured environments and transparent credit system are designed for students, researchers, and AI startups.
The VPC private interface, eth1, on AMD GPU Droplets supports jumbo frames.
To use jumbo frames, you need to manually configure the maximum transmission unit (MTU) on the interface by running the following command on the Droplet:
ip l set dev eth1 mtu 9002You can automatically configure jumbo frames when you create a GPU Droplet by using user data. The following cloud-config file runs the above command automatically on creation:
#cloud-config
bootcmd:
- ip l set dev eth1 mtu 9002You can enter this cloud-config file on the GPU Droplet creation page in the control panel, pass it to the API with the user_data field, or pass it to the CLI with the --user-data-file flag.
