Managing Buffers and Queues
Cajun P220G Switch Configuration and Operation Guide
4-3
The P220G switch implements two flow control disciplines along the entire path that
frames travel. The default case is that when output buffers fill up, frames destined for a
particular buffer will be dropped after being switched by the crossbar. This should only
occur in a case where the output port is very congested. However, there is an optional
mode in which normal-priority frames are never dropped inside the switch. In this
mode, input buffers may fill up. If they do, the affected input ports may use flow control
to temporarily halt traffic from neighboring switches.

1. Select Buffers from the menu on the left side of the Web Agent. The Buffer
Configuration screen appears (Figure 4-2):

2. Select a Fabric Port Buffer by clicking on the buffer name. The Buffer Detail
Configuration screen displays (Figure 4-3):
