the pause or resume thresholds for the buer. This method of conguration enables you to eectively manage and
administer the behavior of lossless queues.
Example
Dell(conf-if-te-1/1/1/1)# dcb-policy buffer-threshold test
dcb pfc-total-buer-size
Congure the total buer size for PFC in kilobytes.
Syntax
dcb pfc-total—buffer—size KB
Parameters
KB Enter a number in the range of 0 to 3399.
Default The default is 3088KB.
Command Modes CONFIGURATION mode

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. For example, if you modify the total buer size as
4000 KB from the previous size of 5000 KB, an error message is displayed that this reduction cannot be performed
owing to existing system conguration because of queues that are being currently in process.
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 5000
Dell(conf)# dcb pfc-total-buffer-size 4000
%ERROR: Total pfc buffer size configured cannot accommodate existing buffer
requirement in the system.
