Configuring buffer-pool size
Brocade(config)#qos buffer-pool bronze 50
Syntax: [no] qos buffer-pool buffer-pool-type | gold | bronze max-percentage
The buffer-pool-type variable signifies the type of buffer-pool, gold or bronze.
The percentage specifies the maximum percentage of memory allocated for the buffer-pool-type.
Configuration considerations
• The percentage of memory allocated for Bronze buffer-pool cannot exceed 95%.
• The percentage of memory allocated for Bronze buffer-pool cannot be below 5%.
• The command is applicable only to 8x10 family and 2x100G.
• Check the configuration as priorities are placed into buffer-pools individually.
Configuration examples
The example below depicts where internal priorities 7-6 are associated with the Gold buffer-pool
and internal priorities 5-0 with the Bronze buffer-pool.
Brocade(config)# qos queue-type 6 buffer-pool gold
The example below depicts where the Bronze buffer-pool is configured with 70% of physical
memory.
Brocade (config)# qos buffer-pool bronze 70
Displaying buffer-pool information
To display the buffer-pool configuration enter the command:
Brocade# show qos buffer-pool
Syntax: Show qos buffer-pool
