I am looking for best practices for switch configuration in
our esx environments.
From my research and experience I have seen best performance with flow control
enabled and 1000 full on the network side switches and jumbo frames, flow
control and 1000 full on the iscsi switches. I also manually configure all esx
hosts to 1000 full for consistency (although not always necessary I understand).
We connect to Equallogic arrays that by default take advantage of jumbo frames.
We use cisco switches in our environment.
Can anyone attest to these configs? Are there some documents
available where the suggested configurations are laid out in a single location
without having to skim through 200 page documents?
Thanks
