Command History
Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.3(0.0) Introduced on the MXL platform.
Usage Information Configure the maximum shared buffer available for PFC traffic. You can choose to increase or decrease the
shared buffer that is allocated in the system by default. Configure the shared buffer size less than the total PFC
buffer size. If the buffer size and DCB buffer threshold settings are applied on one or more ports, a validation is
performed to determine whether following condition is satisfied: If the shared buffer size is more than the total
PFC buffer size value, the configuration is not saved and a system logging message is generated as follows:
Shared-pfc-buffer-size <= (Total-pfc-buffer-size — Σpfc priority <> buffer-size on each port, priority).
Dell(conf)#dcb pfc-shared-buffer-size 2000
%ERROR: pfc shared buffer size configured cannot accommodate existing buffer
requirement in the system.
Enter a smaller value for the shared buffer size or increase the total buffer size appropriately by using the dcb
pfc-total- buffer-size command.
Example
Dell(conf)#dcb pfc-shared-buffer-size 5000
dcb pfc-total-buffer-size
Configure the total buffer size for PFC in kilobytes.
