Syntax
buffer-profile global {1Q|4Q}
Parameters
global Apply one of two pre-defined buffer profiles to all of the port-pipes in
the system.
1Q Enter the keyword 1Q to choose a pre-defined buffer profile for single
queue (for example, non-QoS) applications.
4Q Enter the keyword 4Q to choose a pre-defined buff fer profile for four
queue (for example, QoS) applications.

Command Modes CONFIGURATION
Command History
Version 9.0(1.3) Introduced on the S5000.
Usage
Information
The buffer-profile global command fails if you have already applied a custom
buffer-profile on an interface. Similarly, when you configure buffer-profile global,
you cannot apply buffer-profile on any interface.
If the default buffer-profile (4Q) is active, FTOS displays an error message instructing you to
remove the default configuration using the no buffer-profile global command.
You must reload the system for the global buffer-profile to take effect.
