profile qos

Sets the QoS profile for hardware.

Syntax

profile qos { lossless | lossy }

Command Default

No explicit configuration of lossy or lossless profile is configured on the interface.

Parameters

lossless: Sets lossless buffer pool support on the hardware interface.

lossy: Sets lossy buffer pool support on the hardware interface.

Modes

Hardware configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Use this command on ExtremeSwitching SLX 9150 and ExtremeSwitching SLX 9250 to enable allocating 25% of the packet buffer to the lossless pool during initialization.

The ExtremeSwitching SLX 9150 and ExtremeSwitching SLX 9250 switches have limited on-board memory. Allocating a portion of this memory for lossless pool when not required is a waste of this limited resource. This command enable you to select when to use the lossless pool.

Changing this configuration requires a reboot to take effect.

Examples

To set the hardware QoS mode to lossless mode.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# hardware 
device(config-hardware)# profile qos lossless

To set the hardware Qos mode to lossy mode.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# hardware 
device(config-hardware)# profile qos lossy
