Data buffer commands

Inappropriate data buffer changes can cause system problems. Before manually changing data buffer settings, make sure you understand its impact on your device. As a best practice, use the burst-mode enable command if the system requires large buffer spaces. The burst-mode enable command and the buffer apply command are mutually exclusive. If you have configured the data buffer by using one command, you must execute the undo form of the command before using the other command.

Data buffer commands

buffer apply

Use buffer apply to apply manually configured data buffer settings.

Use undo buffer apply to restore the default.

Syntax

buffer apply

undo buffer apply

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

For data buffer settings to take effect, you must execute this command after configuring data buffer settings.

After applying manually configured data buffer settings, you cannot directly modify the applied settings. To modify them, you must cancel the application, reconfigure data buffer settings, and reapply the new settings.

Examples

# Apply manually configured data buffer settings.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] buffer apply

buffer total-shared

Use buffer total-shared to set the total shared-area ratio.

Use undo buffer total-shared to delete the total shared-area ratio setting.

Syntax

buffer egress slot slot-number  { cell | packet } total-shared ratio ratio

undo buffer egress slot slot-number { cell | packet } total-shared

Default

If this command is not configured, you can display the default value by using the display buffer command.

Parameters

egress: Specifies the egress buffer.

slot slot-number: Specifies an IRF member device by its member ID (slot number). If you do not specify an IRF member device, this command applies to all IRF member devices.

cell: Specifies cell resources.

packet: Specifies packet resources.

ratio ratio: Specifies the ratio of the shared area, in percentage. The value range for ratio is 0 to 100.

Usage guidelines

After you set the shared-area ratio, the remaining buffer space is automatically assigned to the fixed area.

Examples

# Configure the shared area to use 50% space of cell resources in the egress buffer.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] buffer egress slot 1 cell total-shared ratio 50

burst-mode enable

Use burst-mode enable to enable the Burst feature.

Use undo burst-mode enable to disable the Burst feature.

Syntax

burst-mode enable

undo burst-mode enable

Default

The Burst feature is disabled.

Usage guidelines

The Burst feature is especially useful for reducing packet losses under the following circumstances:

·     Broadcast or multicast traffic is intensive, resulting in bursts of traffic.

·     Traffic enters a device from a high-speed interface and goes out of a low-speed interface.

·     Traffic enters a device from multiple same-rate interfaces and goes out of an interface with the same rate.

 

Examples

# Enable the Burst feature.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] burst-mode enable

display buffer

Use display buffer to display buffer size settings.

Syntax

display buffer [ slot slot-number ] [ queue [ queue-id ] ]

network-operator

Parameters

slot slot-number: Specifies an IRF member device by its member ID (slot number). If you do not specify an IRF member device, this command displays buffer size settings for all IRF member devices.

queue queue-id: Specifies a queue by its number in the range of 0 to 7. If you specify a queue, this command displays the fixed-area ratio and shared-area ratio for the specified queue. If you specify the queue keyword without the queue-id argument, this command displays the fixed-area ratio and shared-area ratio for each queue. If you do not specify the queue keyword, this command displays the total shared-area ratio.

Examples

# Display buffer size settings.

<Sysname> display buffer

Slot  Type    Eg(Total-shared , Shared)

1     packet  50% ,  10%

1     cell    52% ,  10%

          Eg: Size of the sending buffer

Total-shared: Size of the shared buffer for all ports

      Shared: Size of the maximum shared buffer per port

        Unit: Ratio

# Display the fixed-area ratio and shared-area ratio for the queues.

<Sysname> display buffer queue

Slot  Queue        Type    Eg(Guaranteed , Shared)

1     0-7          packet  12% , --

1     0-7          cell    12% , --

          Eg: Size of the sending buffer

  Guaranteed: Size of the minimum guaranteed buffer per queue

      Shared: Size of the maximum shared buffer per queue

Table 1 Command output

Field	Description
Type	Resource type: packet or cell.
Queue	Queue ID in the range of 0 to 7.
Eg	Egress buffer.
(Total-shared , Shared)	Total-shared indicates the total shared-area ratio. If the device does not support a resource type, this field displays two hyphens (--). Shared indicates the shared-area ratio of a port. If the device does not support a resource type, this field displays two hyphens (--).
(Guaranteed , Shared)	·     Guaranteed indicates the fixed-area ratio of a queue. This value is not supported in the current software version. ·     Shared indicates the shared-area ratio of a queue. This value is not supported in the current software version.
