Service Manual

Similarly, when you configure buffer-profile global, you cannot not apply a buffer profile 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 predefined buffer profile, use the following command.
Apply one of the pre-defined buffer profiles for all port pipes in the system.
CONFIGURATION mode
buffer-profile global [1Q|4Q]
If the default buffer profile dynamic is active, Dell Networking OS displays an error message instructing you to remove the
default configuration using the no buffer-profile global command.
Sample Buffer Profile Configuration
The two general types of network environments are sustained data transfers and voice/data.
Dell Networking recommends a single-queue approach for data transfers.

Troubleshooting Packet Loss
The show hardware stack-unit command is intended primarily to troubleshoot packet loss.
To troubleshoot packet loss, use the following commands.
show hardware stack-unit stack-unit-number cpu data-plane statistics
show hardware stack-unit stack-unit-number cpu party-bus statistics
show hardware stack-unit stack-unit-number drops unit unit-number
show hardware stack-unit stack-unit-number unit unit-number {counters | details | port-stats
[detail] | register | ipmc-replication | table-dump}
show hardware {ip | ipv6 | mac} {eg-acl | in-acl} stack-unit stack-unit-number port-set 0
pipeline 0-3
show hardware ip qos stack-unit stack-unit-number port-set 0
show hardware system-flow layer2 stack-unit stack-unit-number port-set 0 {counters | pipeline

show hardware drops interface interface
show hardware buffer-stats-snapshot resource interface interface
show hardware buffer inteface interface{priority-group { id | all } | queue { id| all} }
