Enabling In-Order Delivery Globally

To ensure that the in-order delivery parameters are uniform across all VSANs on an MDS 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.
Note Enable in-order delivery on the entire switch before performing a downgrade to Cisco MDS SAN-OS
Release1.3(3) or earlier.

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, follow these
steps:
Step 1 Expand a fabric and select All VSANS.
Step 2 Select the Attributes tab.
You see the general VSAN attributes in the Information pane shown in
Figure 32-15
Check the InOrder Delivery check box to enable IOD for the switch.
Step 3
Click Apply Changes to save these changes, or click Undo Changes to discard any unsaved changes.
Step 4

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, follow these steps:
