Configuring Active Buffer Monitoring
switch(config)# hardware profile buffer monitor unicast sampling 5000
switch(config)# copy running-config startup-config
The following example shows how to configure Active Buffer Monitoring for multicast traffic with a threshold
value of 10 kilobytes and a sampling value of 5000 nanoseconds.
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# hardware profile buffer monitor multicast
switch(config)# hardware profile buffer monitor multicast threshold 384
switch(config)# hardware profile buffer monitor multicast sampling 5000
switch(config)# copy running-config startup-config

Procedure
Step 1
Step 2
This example shows how to display summary information for each buffer block and for all of the buffers
combined:
switch# show hardware profile buffer monitor summary

Purpose
Displays data collected about the buffer. The keywords are
defined as follows:
• brief—Specifies to show limited information about each
interface.
• buffer-block—Specifies to display information about a
specific buffer block.
• detail—Specifies to display all information gathered for
each interface.
• interface—(Optional) Specifies to display information
about a specific port.
• multicast—Specifies to show buffer data for multicast
traffic only.
• summary—Specifies to display summary information about
each buffer block.
The show command option interface is only valid in
Note
unicast mode and the multicast option is only valid in
multicast mode.
(Optional)
Clears the collected buffer data.
