Reserve Bandwidth for Advanced Features

Use this procedure if you want the switch to support advanced features. When you enable the boot flag, you need to save and reboot with the new configuration.

Before you begin

Product Notice: For 5520 Series and VSP 7400 Series, you must ensure your configuration does not include reserved ports before you enable this feature. If the configuration includes reserved ports after you enable this feature and restart the switch, the switch stops loading the configuration.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > Edit > Chassis.
  2. Select the Boot Config tab.
  3. In the AdvancedFeatureBWReservation field, select high or low to enable the boot flag.
  4. Select Apply.

    A message appears to remind you that the configuration cannot include reserved ports, and that you must save the configuration and reboot the switch for changes to take effect.

  5. Select Yes to continue or click No to cancel the change because the configuration includes reserved ports.

    If you clicked No, you can modify your switch configuration to remove the reserved ports and then return to this tab to change the AdvancedFeatureBWReservation configuration.

  6. Save the configuration, and then reboot the switch.
