Syntax

Command Parameters

high
Reserves the maximum bandwidth for the advanced features. Depending on the hardware platform, the number of reserved ports is different.
low
Reserves less bandwidth to support minimum functionality for advanced features. Depending on the hardware platform, the number of reserved ports is different.

Usage Guidelines

This command does not apply to all hardware platforms. For more information about feature support, see VOSS Feature Support Matrix.

If your switch does not support this boot configuration flag, it is because the hardware reserves the bandwidth automatically with no user interaction.

You must save the configuration and restart the switch for a configuration change to take effect.

You must ensure your configuration does not include reserved ports before you enable this feature. If the configuration includes reserved ports after you enable this feature and restart the switch, the switch aborts loading the configuration.
