Usage Guidelines
Note |
This command is applicable to only Cisco Nexus 6000 switches. |
When the proxy queue reaches a threshold that indicates congestion, Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) marking is performed so that the receiver of the packet echoes the congestion indication to the sender. The proxy-queue drain rate is configured to ensure that during congestion at egress ports only a certain amount of packets are drained.
Examples
This example shows how to configure proxy-queue settings to drain 9900 Mbps of traffic from 10 Gigabit interfaces and 39900 Mpbs of traffic from 40 Gigabit interfaces:
switch(config)# hardware pq-drain 10g 9900 40g 39900
