EXAMPLES
DLS configuration commands on a switch with an exchange-based policy:
Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1001764-01
Enables the Lossless feature. Frame loss is reduced while the path is rerouted. If
DLS is set on the switch, this command adds the Lossless feature to the existing
DLS legacy mode. If DLS is not set on the switch, this command enables both
DLS and the Lossless feature. The Lossless feature is disabled by default.
Disables the previously enabled Lossless feature. Execution of this command is
equivalent to the legacy dlsSet command. Dynamic load balancing is enforced
but not without frame loss. DLS (legacy mode) continues to be enabled after
Lossless is disabled. Use dlsReset to disable DLS completely.
