Users Guide
Dell Networking OS provides two predened buer proles, one for single-queue (for example, non-quality-of-service [QoS]) applications, 
and one for four-queue (for example, QoS) applications.
You must reload the system for the global buer prole to take eect, a message similar to the following displays: % Info: For the 
global pre-defined buffer profile to take effect, please save the config and reload the system..
Dell Networking OS Behavior: After you congure buer-prole global 1Q, the message displays during every bootup. Only one reboot is 
required for the conguration to take eect; afterward you may ignore this bootup message.
Dell Networking OS Behavior: If you congure 1Q, save the running-cong to the startup-config, and then delete the startup-
config and reload the chassis. The only way to return to the default buer prole is to remove the 1Q prole congured and then reload 
the chassis.
If you have already applied a custom buer prole on an interface, the buffer-profile global command fails and a message similar 
to the following displays: % Error: User-defined buffer profile already applied. Failed to apply global 
pre-defined buffer profile. Please remove all user-defined buffer profiles.
Similarly, when you congure buffer-profile global, you cannot not apply a buer prole on any single interface. A message similar 
to the following displays: % Error: Global pre-defined buffer profile already applied. Failed to apply 
user-defined buffer profile on interface Te 1/1. Please remove global pre-defined buffer 
profile.
To apply a predened buer prole, use the following command:
• Apply one of the predened buer proles for all port pipes in the system.
CONFIGURATION mode
buffer-profile global [1Q|4Q]
If the default buer prole dynamic is active, Dell Networking OS displays an error message instructing you to remove the default 
conguration using the no buffer-profile global command.
Troubleshooting Packet Loss
The show hardware stack-unit command is intended primarily to troubleshoot packet loss.
To troubleshoot packet loss, use the following commands.
•
show hardware stack-unit stack-unit-number cpu data-plane statistics
•
show hardware stack-unit stack-unit-number cpu party-bus statistics
•
show hardware stack-unit stack-unit-number drops unit unit-number
