User-configurable buffer
profile
This buffer profile is a simpler form of
allocation of qd descriptors and qd buffers. This
allows you to define a template of buffer
allocations to be used on a per port basis on
the devices.

Updates to SNTP feature
Release 07.2.02g introduces updates to the SNTP feature.
Specifying an SNTP server
You can configure the Brocade device to consult up to three SNTP servers for the current system time
and date. The first server configured will be used unless it becomes unreachable, in which case the
Brocade device will attempt to synchronize with the other SNTP servers (if any) in the order in which
they were configured.
Brocade devices do not retain time and date information across power cycles. Unless you want to
reconfigure the system time counter each time the system is reset, Brocade recommends that you use
the SNTP feature as described below.
