Usage Information
Congure the maximum buer available for PFC trac. You can choose to increase or decrease the buer size that is allocated in the system by
default. However, if you modify the PFC buer size lower than the previously congured size, the system determines whether this reduction in
size is valid without disrupting the existing conguration. 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 conguration identies the maximum
number of queues a port can support. Although the queue limit per port is a baseline when dynamic buering is enabled, the limit per port for
queues depends on the availability of the buer.
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.
