Using a pre-defined buffer profile
FTOS provides two pre-defined buffer profiles, one for single-queue (i.e non-QoS) applications, and one
for four-queue (i.e QoS) applications.
You must reload the system for the global buffer profile to take effect (
Message 3
).
The
buffer-profile global
command fails if you have already applied a custom buffer profile on an interface.
Similarly, when
buffer-profile global
is configured, you cannot not apply a buffer profile on any single
interface.
If the default buffer profile (4Q) is active, FTOS displays an error message instructing you to remove the
default configuration using the command
no buffer-profile global
.
Sample buffer profile configuration
The two general types of network environments are sustained data transfers and voice/data. Dell Force10
recommends a single-queue approach for data transfers, as shown in
Figure 62-9
.
Task
Command
Mode
Apply one of two pre-defined buffer profiles for all port
pipes in the system.
buffer-profile global [1Q|4Q]
CONFIGURATION
Message 3
Reload After Applying Global Buffer Profile
% Info: For the global pre-defined buffer profile to take effect, please save the config and reload the
system.
FTOS Behavior:
After you configure
buffer-profile global 1Q
,
Message 3
is displayed during every
bootup. Only one reboot is required for the configuration to take effect; afterwards this bootup
message may be ignored.
FTOS 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 explicitly configure
4Q
, and then reload the chassis.
Message 4
Global Buffer Profile Error
% Error: User-defined buffer profile already applied. Failed to apply global pre-defined buffer profile.
Please remove all user-defined buffer profiles.
Message 5
Global Buffer Profile Error
% Error: Global pre-defined buffer profile already applied. Failed to apply user-defined buffer profile
on interface Gi 0/1. Please remove global pre-defined buffer profile.
