port-pfc-show

Priority Flow Control (PFC) is an IEEE standard (802.1qbb) for link level flow control on Ethernet networks. Functionally, this feature is similar to the IEEE standard 802.3 for PAUSE mechanism, except that it operates at the granularity of individual packet priorities or traffic class, instead of port level. When a queue corresponding to traffic with a particular traffic class reaches a predetermined, either auto or statically set, threshold, the switch chip generates a PFC frame and sends it back to the sender. For PFC to work effectively end to end on the network, all switches and hosts in the traffic path are configured to enable PFC, and configured for traffic class to priority mappings.

This command allows you to display PFC on ports.

Syntax   port-pfc-show

priority priority

Displays the priority for PFC. This is a number between 0 and 7.

port-list port-list

Displays the port list to apply PFC.

error error-string

Displays any errors on the port or ports.

Defaults   None

Access   Network administrator

History   Command introduced in Version 2.5.4.

Usage   This command is used to displays PFC information about link level flow control for traffic on the network.

Examples  To display a PFC configuration on port 2 with a priority group of 2, use the following command:

CLI (network-admin@Spine1)port-pfc-show

switch  priority port  error

------- -------- ----- -----

Spine1  2        11-20      

Spine1  3        11-20
