I'm testing a Dell R710 connected to a Dell MD3200i iSCSI SAN and according to all the documentation I can find I'm out of luck if I want jumbo frames because it has to be configured using the CLI tool and that tool is not usable without buying a license. Is that correct, that I need at least the Essentials package to use CLI and therefore jumbo frames?
