Using a Pre-Dened Buer Prole
Dell Networking OS provides two pre-dened buer proles, 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 buer prole to take eect, 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 congure buer-prole global 1Q, the message displays during every bootup. Only one reboot is
required for the conguration to take eect; afterward you may ignore this bootup message.
Dell Networking OS Behavior: If you congure 1Q, save the running-cong to the startup-cong, and then delete the startup-cong and
reload the chassis. The only way to return to the default buer prole is to remove the 1Q prole congured and then reload the chassis.
If you have already applied a custom buer prole 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 congure buffer-profile global, you cannot not apply a buer prole 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 predened buer prole, use the following command.
• Apply one of the pre-dened buer proles for all port pipes in the system.
CONFIGURATION mode
buffer-profile global [1Q|4Q]
If the default buer prole dynamic is active, Dell Networking OS displays an error message instructing you to remove the default
conguration using the no buffer-profile global command.
Sample Buer Prole Conguration
The two general types of network environments are sustained data transfers and voice/data.
Dell Networking recommends a single-queue approach for data transfers.
