Configuring user-configurable buffer profiles on FCX and ICX devices
NOTE
The user-configurable buffer profile method is not available on FWS devices.
A buffer profile is a mechanism to arbitrarily allocate the egress buffers and descriptors limits to be
applied to a port and its queues. Users can define a limit for a port and its queues by configuring
the buffer profiles on the device. Therefore, user-configurable buffer profiles provide a template to
allocate egress buffers and descriptors limits to the port and on its queues. This template is then
applied to the device.
NOTE
Buffer profiles can be configured for 10 Gbps and 1 Gbps ports, but not for ICX 6610 40 Gbps ports.
The 10 Gbps profile will apply to ICX 6430 and 6450 stacking ports, as well as FCX 16 Gbps stacking
ports.
