Cisco MDS 9000 Series Configuration Guide

Nearly 10 other components that receive this MTS notification would have to function on the single bulk
notification instead of multiple notifications.
Enabling Name Server Bulk Notification
For NX-OS Release 6.2(1) to 6.2(7), bulk notification is disabled by default. Enabling this feature in one
switch has no bearing on the other switches in the same fabric.
From NX-OS Release 6.2(9) onwards, bulk notification is enabled by default.
Note
Restrictions
• Whenever the intelligent applications such as the DMM, IOA, and SME are enabled, the bulk notification
feature is not supported.
