Restrictions
Deep Buer mode and network QoS congurations cannot coexist. Enable Deep Buer mode only when the network QoS congurations;
for example LLFC and PFC are disabled. To congure Deep Buer mode, disable all network QoS related congurations.
Congure Deep Buer mode
You must disable all the network QoS congurations; for example, PFC and LLFC, before conguring the Deep Buer mode. Deep Buer
mode is disabled by default.
1 Enable Deep Buer mode in CONFIGURATION mode.
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# hardware deep-buffer-mode
NOTE: To disable Deep Buer mode, use the no form of the command. Disabling Deep Buer mode takes eect only
after saving it in the startup conguration and reloading the switch.
After you congure Deep Buer mode, the system displays a warning stating that the conguration takes eect only after saving it in
the startup conguration and reloading the switch.
% Warning: Deep buffer mode configuration will be applied only after a save and reload.
2 Save Deep Buer mode in the startup conguration in CONFIGURATION mode.
OS10(config)# do write memory
3 Reload the switch in CONFIGURATION mode.
OS10(config)# do reload
Proceed to reboot the system? [confirm yes/no]:yes
