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 linerate. Additionally,
the 2.4 setting has a lower latency.
When using 9 SFMs in an ExaScale chassis, the 10.4 setting is linerate; 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.
