dlsShow

Displays the setting of Dynamic Load Sharing (DLS).

Synopsis dlsshow

Description Use this command to display information about Dynamic Load Sharing configuration settings on the switch.

Depending on the configuration, the command output displays one of the following messages:

• DLS is set with Lossless enabled - DLS is enabled with the Lossless feature. Load sharing is recomputed

with every change in the fabric, and existing routes can be moved to maintain optimal balance. In Lossless

mode, no frames are lost during this operation.

• DLS is set with Lossless disabled - DLS is enabled without the Lossless feature. Load sharing is

reconfigured with every change in the fabric, and existing routes can be moved to maintain optimal balance.

No attempt is made to prevent frames from being lost while load sharing is recomputed.

• DLS is not set with Lossless disabled - DLS is disabled and the Lossless option is disabled. Existing routes

are never moved to maintain optimal balance. If the Lossless option was enabled before you disabled DLS, it

is now disabled as well. This means, frame loss is not prevented during a load sharing recomputation.

• DLS is set with Two-hop Lossless enabled - DLS is enabled with Lossless and two-hop lossless DLS.

Refer to dlsSet for a description of load sharing.

This command also displays the status of the E_Port Balance Priority feature on the switch. If the feature is

enabled, the message "E-port Balance Priority is set" displays. If the feature is disabled, the message "E-port

Balance Priority is not set" displays.

Notes The Lossless feature is not supported on GbE ports and FCoE ports. On unsupported platforms, this command

exits with an appropriate message.

On platforms that do not support the E_Port Balance Priority feature, the command output indicates that the

feature is not supported.

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric restrictions that may be in place. Refer to "Using Fabric

OS Commands" and "Command Availability" for details.
