Usage
Information
You save the configuration and reload the chassis for the changes to the epoch
command setting to take affect.
When using 10 SFMs in an ExaScale chassis, the 10.4 and 2.4 settings are both line
rate. Additionally, the 2.4 setting has a lower latency.
When using 9 SFMs in an ExaScale chassis, the 10.4 setting is line rate; the 2.4
setting reduces throughput. Dell Force10 recommends using the 10.4 setting when
the system has 9 SFMs.
Using 8 SFMs in an ExaScale chassis reduces throughput at any epoch setting.
