••If cells are being dropped on all ports, the indication is global congestion. Proceed to the “Global Congestion” section.

5.4.2Global Congestion

s• Is the total cell drop rate equal to the Unknown VC cell drop rate?

UIf yes, the switch is improperly set up. Check the switch configuration.

UIf no, this indicates global congestion. Continue.

¢• Set the porttrafficcongestion values to those recommended in the “QoS Queue Allocation Guidelines” section. Has the congestion subsided?

UIf yes, you are done.

UIf no, continue.

••Have you changed the EPD threshold?

UIf yes, replace it to the default setting. If congestion subsides, you are done.

UIf no, continue.

T• Enter the show cacinfo command for each port. Is the allocated bandwidth small and is the traffic mostly UBR?

UIf no, go back to step 4 and check next port.

UIf yes, continue.

Q• Enter the show porttrafficcongestion command. Is the UBR queue Max threshold large?

UIf no, go back to 4.

UIf yes, continue.

–•Reduce the UBR queue Max threshold by a small amount, then wait a few minutes.

••Enter the show portstats command, and take the default of all. Is the number of cells dropped increasing for this port, and quickly decreasing for all other ports?

UIf yes, proceed to the “Port Congestion” section.

UIf no, continue.

G• Is the number of cells being dropped by all other ports decreasing somewhat?

UIf no, go back to step 6.
