Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch CLI Software Configuration Guide (OL-16597-01, July 2009)

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.
To enable in-order delivery for the switch, perform this task:
Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters configuration mode.switch# configuration terminal
Step 1
Enables in-order delivery in the switch.switch(config)# in-order-guarantee
Step 2
Reverts the switch to the factory defaults and
disables the in-order delivery feature.
switch(config)# no in-order-guarantee
Step 3
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, perform this task:
Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters configuration mode.switch# configuration terminal
Step 1
Enables in-order delivery in the specified VSAN.switch(config)# in-order-guarantee vsan
vsan-id
Step 2
Reverts the switch to the factory defaults and
disables the in-order delivery feature in the
specified VSAN.
switch(config)# no in-order-guarantee
vsan vsan-id
