dlsSet
--enable -eportbal
Enables the E_Port Balance Priority feature. The E_Port load is rebalanced when topology
changes occur, such as an E_Port going offline and then online. If DLS is disabled on the
switch, it remains disabled with this command.
--disable -eportbal
Disables the E_Port Balance Priority feature.
--enable -twohop
Enables two-hop lossless DLS. When enabled, this enhancement coordinates route
updates of the switches in the fabric such that the intermediate switches have performed
their route rebalancing updates for the new path prior to an upstream switch attempting to
use that new path. The Lossless feature must be enabled to perform route updates.
Two-hop lossless DLS is disabled by default.
--disable -twohop
Disables the previously enabled two-hop lossless DLS.
--rebalance
Rebalances the E_Port load on a logical switch, without waiting for a topology change to
occur.
--rebalance -all
Rebalances the E_Port load on all logical switches, without waiting for a topology change to
occur.
