SNMP Support for PFC and Buer Statistics Tracking
Buer Statistics Tracking (BST) feature provides a mechanism to aid in Resource Monitoring and Tuning of Buer Allocation. The Max Use
Count mode provides the maximum value of the counters accumulated over a period of time.
Priority Flow Control (PFC) provides a link level ow control mechanism, which is controlled independently for each frame priority. The goal
of this mechanism is to ensure zero loss under congestion in DCB networks.
Dell EMC Networking OS provides SNMP support for monitoring PFC and BST counters, and statistics. The enhancement is made on
DELL-NETWORKING-FPSTATS-MIB with additional tables to display the PFC and BST counters and statistics.
The following tables are available in DELL-NETWORKING-FPSTATS-MIB:
• dellNetFpEgrQBuSnapshotTable
• dellNetFpIngPgBuSnapshotTable
• dellNetFpStatsPerPgTable
• dellNetPfcPerPrioTable
dellNetFpEgrQBuS
napshotTable
This table fetches the BST statistics at Egress Port for the buer used. This table displays the Snapshot of the
Buer cells used by Unicast and Multicast Data and Control Queues.
dellNetFpIngPgBuS
napshotTable
This table fetches the BST statistics at the Ingress Port for the Shared Cells, and the Headroom cells used per
Priority Group. The snapshot of the Ingress Shared cells used and the Ingress Headroom cells used per Priority
Group, when PFC is enabled, display in this table. This table lists the stack-unit index, port number and the priority
group number.
dellNetFpStatsPerP
gTable
This table fetches the Allocated Min cells, Shared cells, and Headroom cells per Priority Group, the mode in which
the buer cells are allocated — Static or Dynamic and the Used Min Cells, Shared cells and Headroom cells per
Priority Group. The table fetches a value of 0 if the mode of allocation is Static and a value of 1 if the mode of
allocation is Dynamic. This table lists thestack-unit number, port number and priority group number.
dellNetPfcPerPrioTa
ble
This table fetches the number of PFC frames transmitted (PFC Requests) and the number of PFC frames
received (PFC Indications) per priority on a per port basis. This table lists the stack-unit index, port number and
priority.
Performing PFC Using DSCP Bits Instead of 802.1p
Bits
Priority based Flow Control (PFC) is currently supported on Dell EMC Networking OS for tagged packets based on the packet Dot1p. In
certain data center deployments, VLAN conguration is avoided on the servers and all packets from the servers are untagged. These
