Restoring In-order Delivery of Frames
To restore the default In-order delivery setting (which allows frames to be
delivered out-of-order during topology changes for faster delivery):
1. Log into the switch as the admin user.
2. Enter the
iodreset
command at the command line.
Example:
Using Dynamic Load-Sharing
Optimal load sharing is rarely achieved with DLS disabled. If DLS is turned on
(using
dlsset
), routing changes can affect working ports. For example, if an
Fx_Port goes down, another Fx_Port may be rerouted from one E_Port to a
different E_Port. The switch minimizes the number of routing changes, but some
are necessary in order to achieve optimal load sharing.
If DLS is turned off (using
dlsreset
), load sharing is performed only at boot
time or when an Fx_Port comes up.
1. Log in to the switch as admin.
2. Enter the
dlsshow
command to view the current DLS setting.
One of the following messages appears:
— DLS is set The DLS option is turned on. Load sharing is reconfigured
with every change in the fabric.
— DLS is not set The DLS option is turned off. Load sharing is only
reconfigured when the switch is rebooted or an Fx_Port comes up.
3. Enter the
dlsSet
command to enable Dynamic Load Sharing when a
fabric change occurs.
4. Enter the
dlsReset
command to disable Dynamic Load Sharing.
Load sharing is performed only at boot time or when an Fx_Port comes up.
