Usage Information
Congure the maximum buer available for PFC trac. You can choose to increase or decrease the buer
size that is allocated in the system by default. However, if you modify the PFC buer size lower than the
previously congured size, the system determines whether this reduction in size is valid without disrupting
the existing conguration. In such a scenario, disable and re-enable DCB. For example, if you modify the total
buer size as 4000 KB from the previous size of 5000 KB, an error message is displayed that this reduction
cannot be performed owing to existing system conguration because of queues that are being currently in
process.
The lossless queue limit per port is validated based on the dcb pfc-queues command. PFC queue
conguration identies the maximum number of queues a port can support. Although the queue limit per
port is a baseline when dynamic buering is enabled, the limit per port for queues depends on the availability
of the buer.
Example
Dell(conf)#dcb pfc-total-buffer-size 5000
Dell(conf)#dcb pfc-total-buffer-size 4000
%ERROR: Total pfc buffer size configured cannot accommodate existing
buffer requirement in the system.
