User Guidelines
The internal message buffers are partitioned into one transmit group reserved
for system generated messages and five receive priority groups. The receive
priority groups are processed in strict priority order starting with the High
group and proceeding down through the Mid0, Mid1 and Mid2 groups down
to the Normal group. Small numbers of buffer failures in the low priority
groups (Norm, Mid2, Mid1) may occur without affecting system operation,
(for example, loss of an LLDP packet is not likely to cause any noticeable
system disruption).
Command History
Introduced in version 6.2.0.1 firmware.
Example
console#show buffers
