Examples
This example shows how to set all buffer queues to 25 percent for multicast and unicast traffic
switched out all Fast Ethernet ports:
xon-limit
xoff-limit When the IngressRX threshold type is chosen, sets the Xon
and Xoff limits. When this limit is reached, the receiving
port sends flow control pause frames the sending port
requesting that transmissions be “turned off”. Once the
sending port responds to the request, the frames will empty
until the Xon threshold is reached. The receiving port then
ceases sending flow control pause frames allowing
transmissions from the sending port to be “turned back on”.
Valid values are 1 to 100, rounded to the nearest 0.1%, and
must be entered in decimal format: 00.0. In order for proper
configuration of buffer settings, the receive-buffer
percentage must be higher than the xoff-limit, which must be
higher than the xon-limit.
NOTE: Xon-limit and Xoff-limit settings are only
active when flow control is enabled. To check the
status of flow control on one or more ports, use the
show port flowcontrol command
(Section 4.3.6.1).

When the EgressGeneral threshold type is chosen, sets the
percentage to allocate to each buffer. Valid values are 1 to
100, rounded to the nearest 0.1%, and must be entered in
decimal format: 00.0.
