Usage Information
Congure the maximum buer available for PFC trac. You can choose to increase or decrease the buer size that is allocated in the system by
default. However, if you modify the PFC buer size lower than the previously congured size, the system determines whether this reduction in
size is valid without disrupting the existing conguration. In such a scenario, disable and re-enable DCB.
The lossless queue limit per port is validated based on the dcb pfc-queues command. PFC queue conguration identies the maximum
number of queues a port can support. Although the queue limit per port is a baseline when dynamic buering is enabled, the limit per port for
queues depends on the availability of the buer.
Example
Dell(conf)#dcb pfc-total-buffer-size 2800
Dell(conf)#
Also, show dcb showing the total buffer can be added.
Dell#show dcb
DCB Status: Enabled, PFC Queue Count: 2
Total Buffer: Total available buffer excluding the buffer pre-allocated
for guaranteed services like global headroom, queue's min
guaranteed buffer and CPU queues.
PFC Total Buffer: Maximum buffer available for lossless queues.
PFC Shared Buffer: Buffer used by ingress priority groups for shared usage.
PFC Headroom Buffer: Buffer used by ingress priority group for shared headroom usage.
PFC Available Buffer: Current buffer available for new lossless queues to be
Provisioned.
