dcb pfc-shared-buffer-size
Configure the maximum amount of shared buffer size for PFC packets in kilobytes.
You must configure the shared buffer size to be less than the total PFC buffer size. If the buffer size and
DCB buffer threshold settings are applied on one or more ports, a validaiton is performed to determine
whether following condition is satisfied: Shared-pfc-buffer-size <= (Total-pfc-buffer-size - Σpfc priority
<> buffer-size on each port, priority).
You must configure the shared buffer size to be less than the total PFC buffer size. If the buffer size and

whether following condition is satisfied: Shared-pfc-buffer-size <= (Total-pfc-buffer-size - Σpfc priority
<> buffer-size on each port, priority).
If the preceding condition is not satisfied by the shared PFC buffer size value, the configuration is not
saved and a system logging message is generated stating that the shared buffer size that you attempt to
specify cannot be configured because of the existing total buffer space on the system being lower than
the shared buffer size. You must either enter a smaller value for the shared buffer size or increase the
total buffer size appropriately by using the dcb pfc-total- buffer-size command.

Usage
Information
Information
Configure the maximum shared buffer available for PFC traffic. You can choose to
increase or decrease the shared buffer that is currently allocated in the system by
default. You must configure the shared buffer size to be less than the total PFC
buffer size. If the buffer size and DCB buffer threshold settings are applied on one
or more ports, a validation is performed to determine whether following condition
is satisfied: If the preceding condition is not satisfied by the shared PFC buffer size
value, the configuration is not saved and a system logging message is generated as
follows:
Shared-pfc-buffer-size <= (Total-pfc-buffer-size - Σpfc priority <> buffer-size on
each port, priority).
