7.0(3)I5(1)

Guidelines and Limitations

DCBX Support

Changed the behaviour of the no lldp tlv-select dcbxp command is enhanced so that the PFC is disabled for interfaces on both sides of back-to-back switches

7.0(3)I4(2)

Priority Flow Control, Guidelines and Limitations

Two additional options, module and summary displayed in the output of the show queuing interface ethernet slot/chassis_number command.

The show queuing interface ethernet slot/chassis_number command displays two more options: module and summary in the output. These additional options do not have any functionality impact.

7.0(3)I2(1)

QoS Configuration Guidelines and Limitations

New switch prompt for policy-map type network-qos is switch(config-pmap-nqos)#.

The switch prompt for policy-map type network-qos was switch(config-pmap-nq)# in earlier releases. The new switch prompt for policy-map type network-qos is switch(config-pmap-nqos)#.

7.0(3)I2(1)

QoS Configuration Guidelines and Limitations

Verifying the QoS Configuration

Enabling the Jumbo MTU

Enabling Priority Flow Control on a Traffic Class

The network-qos class-map is automatically created when it is used in the policy-map.

If a non-existing class is configured under a policy-map for network-qos, a new class-map is created and the prompt changes from (config-pmap-nqos) to (config-cmap-nqos).

7.0(3)I2(1)

QoS Configuration Guidelines and Limitations

Updated the output of the command show queuing interface.

The command show queuing interface displays the queues even without applying the network-qos policy.

7.0(3)I2(1)

QoS Configuration Guidelines and Limitations

The output of the show queuing interface command displays an additional option.

The output of the show queuing interface command displays an option for the internal HiGig2 interface. These interfaces are not relevant and the additional option does not have any functional impact.

7.0(3)I2(1)

QoS Configuration Guidelines and Limitations

Updated the output format and the fields of show policy-map interface <> type queuing CLI command.

The output format and the fields of show policy-map interface <> type queuing CLI command have been updated. For Class-map (queuing), the following fields are displayed: policy, bandwidth percent, queue dropped packets, and queue depth in bytes.

7.0(3)I2(1)

QoS Configuration Guidelines and Limitations

Removing the default bandwidth configuration sets the bandwidth to the default value 100%.

Removing the default bandwidth configuration from the default queuing class used to set the bandwidth to 50% in prior releases. Removing the default bandwidth configuration sets the bandwidth to the default value, 100%. You can set the bandwidth to 50% by configuring the CLI command bandwidth percent 50.

7.0(3)I2(1)

QoS Configuration Guidelines and Limitations

Configuring priority levels 2 and 3 in the pmap configuration.

Prior to Release 7.0(3)I2(1), only priority level 1 was supported in the pmap configuration. Starting with Release 7.0(3)I2(1), you can configure priority levels 2 and 3 in the pmap configuration.

7.0(3)I2(1)

QoS Configuration Guidelines and Limitations

Updated output format and the fields of the show queuing interface eth <> CLI command.

The output format and the fields of the show queuing interface eth <> CLI command have been updated. The output displays all qos-groups, control qos group, SPAN qos-group, and pfc statistics. The xon drops, xoff drops, and the HW MTU fields are not displayed in the new format.
