iodDelaySet
Sets the delay for the in-order delivery (IOD).
Synopsis ioddelayset domain_id iod_delay
Description Use this command to configure the IOD delay time on a switch for a specified domain.This
operation reduces the frame drops during the rebalance time frame that may occur when dynamic
load sharing (DLS) is set.
IOD must be enabled on the switch before you can set the IOD delay value.Enabling IOD ensures
that frames are always delivered in-order, even after fabric topology changes. Setting the IOD delay
to a specified value ensures that the delay in the establishment of a new path after a topology
change does not exceed the specified value.
The switch must be disabled before IOD delay can be set.
Note The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer
to chapter 1, "Understanding Admin Domain Restrictions" and Appendix A, "Command Availability"
for details.

500 ms. The default value is -1.
