(Optional) Configuring the Data Buffer
Context
The data buffer caches packets to be sent from an interface to prevent packet loss upon traffic bursts. When the data buffer is full, the device does not cache packets and directly discards packets not entering the buffer. You can adjust the buffering capacity of interface queues to improve the forwarding performance.
For the CE12800, the burst traffic buffer mode and queue length of an interface can be configured.
For the CE12800E, the burst traffic buffer mode can be configured for the device or interfaces. It cannot be configured for both the device and interface.
Procedure
- (For the CE12800) Configure a burst traffic buffer mode on the device.
- (For the CE12800E configured with ED-E, EG-E, and EGA-E series cards) Configure a burst traffic buffer mode on the device.
- (For the CE12800E configured with FD-X series cards) Configure a burst traffic buffer mode on the device.
- (For CE12800E configured with ED-E, EG-E, and EGA-E series cards) Configure a burst traffic buffer mode on an interface.
- (For CE12800E configured with FD-X series cards) Configure a burst traffic buffer mode on an interface.
- (For CE12800 switches) Configure queue lengths on an interface.
