Service Manual
Version Description
9.3(0.0) Introduced on the S4810 and S6000 platforms.
Usage Information The dcb-map stack-unit all stack-ports all command overwrites any previous DCB maps
applied to stack ports.
dcb pfc-shared-buer-size
Congure the maximum amount of shared buer size for PFC packets in kilobytes.
You must congure the shared buer size to be less than the total PFC buer size. If the buer size and DCB buer threshold
settings are applied on one or more ports, a validaiton is performed to determine whether following condition is satised: Shared-pfc-
buer-size <= (Total-pfc-buer-size - Σpfc priority <> buer-size on each port, priority).
If the preceding condition is not satised by the shared PFC buer size value, the conguration is not saved and a system logging
message is generated stating that the shared buer size that you attempt to specify cannot be congured because of the existing
total buer space on the system being lower than the shared buer size. You must either enter a smaller value for the shared buer
size or increase the total buer size appropriately by using the dcb pfc-total- buffer-size command.
Syntax
dcb pfc-shared—buffer—size KB
Parameters

Version Description
9.7(0.0) Introduced on the S6000-ON.
9.3(0.0) Introduced on the S4810, S4820T, and S6000 platforms.
Usage Information Congure the maximum shared buer available for PFC trac. You can choose to increase or decrease the
shared buer that is currently allocated in the system by default. You must congure the shared buer size
to be less than the total PFC buer size. If the buer size and DCB buer threshold settings are applied on
one or more ports, a validation is performed to determine whether following condition is satised: If the
preceding condition is not satised by the shared PFC buer size value, the conguration is not saved and a
system logging message is generated as follows:
Shared-pfc-buer-size <= (Total-pfc-buer-size - Σpfc priority <> buer-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.
