Using Port Buffering
Port buffering allocates storage for packets that cannot be immediately forwarded or processed on a port. To display port buffer information, use the port-buffer-show command. This command displays ingress and egress buffer utilization for each port.
CLI (network-admin@switch) > port-buffer-show
|
port-buffer-show |
Display port buffer information. |
|
time date/time: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss |
Time to start statistics collection. |
|
start-time date/time: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss |
Start time of statistics collection |
|
end-time date/time: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss |
End time of statistics collection |
|
duration duration: #d#h#m#s |
Duration of statistics collection |
|
interval duration: #d#h#m#s |
Interval between statistics collection. |
|
since-start |
Specify to display port buffering since start. |
|
older-than duration: #d#h#m#s |
Specify an older-than time to display port buffering. |
|
within-last duration: #d#h#m#s |
Specify a within-last time to display port buffering. |
|
port port-list |
The list of ports. |

Use the port-buffer-settings-modify command to enable the collection of port buffer information and to modify the logging interval and buffer size for the command output above.
CLI (network-admin@switch) > port-buffer-settings-modify
|
port-buffer-settings-modify |
Modify port buffer settings. |
|
enable|disable |
Specify if you want to enable or disable the collection of port buffer information. |
|
interval duration: #d#h#m#s |
Specify the interval for the logging of port buffer information. |
|
disk-space disk-space-number |
Specify the amount of memory to be allotted for the collection of port buffering information. The default value is 50MB. |
For example, to set an interval of 2 minutes for logging port buffer information, use the command:
CLI (network-admin@switch) > port-buffer-settings-modify interval 2m
To display the port buffering settings, use the port-buffer-settings-show command:
CLI (network-admin@switch) > port-buffer-settings-show
switch: switch
enable: yes
interval: 2m
disk-space: 50M
