Using a Pre-Defined Buffer Profile
The Dell Networking OS provides two pre-defined buffer profiles, 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 buffer profile to take effect, 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 configure buffer-profile global 1Q, the message displays during every bootup. Only one reboot is
required for the configuration to take effect; afterward you may ignore this bootup message.
Dell Networking OS Behavior: The buffer profile does not returned to the default, 4Q. If you configure 1Q, save the running-config to the
startup-config, and then delete the startup-config and reload the chassis. The only way to return to the default buffer profile is to remove
the 1Q profile configured and then reload the chassis.
If you have already applied a custom buffer profile 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.
