Configuring the Share Port Level for an Egress Buffer Profile

The share port level for an egress buffer profile defines the maximum number of buffers that a port can use as a portion of the total memory.
Note: For the RUCKUS devices, you can change the queue share level for an individual queue which has a finer granularity than the port share level for an individual port.

After the egress-buffer share port level is defined, it can be associated with one or more ports.

Perform the following steps to configure the egress-buffer share port level.

  1. Enter global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Configure the share level. 
    device(config)# qos egress-buffer-profile egress2 port-share-level level3-1/16
    In this step, the egress2 buffer profile is configured with a queue share level 3 for a maximum 1/16 portion of the total buffer memory that can be used in a sharing pool.
  3. Access interface mode for the port to which you want to apply the profile. 
    device(config)# interface ethernet 2/1/4
  4. Attach the profile to the port. 
    device(config-if-e10000-2/1/4)# egress-buffer-profile egress2
  5. Return to privileged EXEC mode. 
    device(config)# Ctrl z
  6. Verify the configuration.
    device# show qos egress-buffer-profile egress2
Egress Buffer Profile: egress2
Ports attached:  2/1/4

Port share level: level3-1/16
  7. Save the configuration. 
    device# write memory

Share Port Level for an Egress Buffer Profile Configuration Example

device# configure terminal
device(config)# qos egress-buffer-profile egress2 port-share-level level3-1/16
device(config)# interface ethernet 2/1/4
device(config-if-e10000-2/1/4)# egress-buffer-profile egress2
device(config)# Ctrl z
device# show qos egress-buffer-profile egress2
device# write memory
