Enabling Virtual Output Queuing Limits for Unicast Traffic on
the Cisco Nexus 5548 Switch
You can enable the Virtual Output Queuing (VOQ) limit for unicast traffic. To alleviate congestion and
blocking, use VOQ to prevent one blocked receiver from affecting traffic that is sent to other noncongested
blocking receivers.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. switch# configure terminal
2. switch(config)# hardware unicast voq-limit
3. switch(config)# no hardware unicast voq-limit
