Usage
Information
Configure the maximum shared buffer available for PFC traffic. You can choose to increase or decrease
the shared buffer that is allocated in the system by default. Configure the shared buffer size less than the
total PFC buffer size. If the buffer size and DCB buffer threshold settings are applied on one or more
ports, a validation is performed to determine whether following condition is satisfied: If the shared buffer
size is more than the total PFC buffer size value, the configuration is not saved and a system logging
message is generated as follows:
Shared-pfc-buffer-size <= (Total-pfc-buffer-size — Σpfc priority <> buffer-size on each port, priority).
Dell(conf)#dcb pfc-shared-buffer-size 2000 %ERROR: pfc shared buffer size
configured cannot accommodate existing buffer requirement in the system.
Enter a smaller value for the shared buffer size or increase the total buffer size appropriately by using the
dcb pfc-total- buffer-size command.
