In-Order Delivery
Enabling In-Order Delivery Globally
To ensure that the in-order delivery parameters are uniform across all VSANs on the switch, enable
in-order delivery globally.
Only enable in-order delivery globally if this is a requirement across your entire fabric. Otherwise,
enable IOD only for the VSANs that require this feature.
Enabling In-Order Delivery for a VSAN
When you create a VSAN, that VSAN automatically inherits the global in-order guarantee value. You
can override this global value by enabling or disabling in-order guarantee for the new VSAN.
To use the lowest domain switch for the multicast tree computation using Fabric Manager, perform this
task:
Step 1 Expand a fabric and then choose All VSANS.
Step 2 Click the Attributes tab.
You see the general VSAN attributes in the Information pane as shown in Figure 18-13.

Step 3 Check the InOrder Delivery check box to enable IOD for the switch.
Step 4 Click Apply Changes to save these changes, or click Undo Changes to discard any unsaved changes.
Configuring the Drop Latency Time
You can change the default latency time for either the entire switch or a specified VSAN in a switch.
To configure the drop latency time for a switch using Fabric Manager, perform this task:
Step 1 Expand a fabric and then choose All VSANS.
You see the VSAN configuration in the Information pane.
Step 2 Click the Attributes tab.
