SNMP Support for PFC and Buffer Statistics Tracking

Buffer Statistics Tracking (BST) feature provides a mechanism to aid in Resource Monitoring and Tuning of Buffer Allocation. The Max Use Count mode provides the maximum value of the counters accumulated over a period of time.

Priority Flow Control (PFC) provides a link level flow control mechanism, which is controlled independently for each frame priority. The goal of this mechanism is to ensure zero loss under congestion in DCB networks.

Dell EMC Networking OS provides SNMP support for monitoring PFC and BST counters, and statistics. The enhancement is made on DELL-NETWORKING-FPSTATS-MIB with additional tables to display the PFC and BST counters and statistics.

The following tables are available in DELL-NETWORKING-FPSTATS-MIB:
  • dellNetFpEgrQBuffSnapshotTable

  • dellNetFpIngPgBuffSnapshotTable

  • dellNetFpStatsPerPgTable

  • dellNetPfcPerPrioTable

dellNetFpEgrQBuffSnapshotTable
This table fetches the BST statistics at Egress Port for the buffer used. This table displays the Snapshot of the Buffer cells used by Unicast and Multicast Data and Control Queues.
dellNetFpIngPgBuffSnapshotTable
This table fetches the BST statistics at the Ingress Port for the Shared Cells, and the Headroom cells used per Priority Group. The snapshot of the Ingress Shared cells used and the Ingress Headroom cells used per Priority Group, when PFC is enabled, display in this table. This table lists the stack-unit index, port number and the priority group number.
dellNetFpStatsPerPgTable
This table fetches the Allocated Min cells, Shared cells, and Headroom cells per Priority Group, the mode in which the buffer cells are allocated — Static or Dynamic and the Used Min Cells, Shared cells and Headroom cells per Priority Group. The table fetches a value of 0 if the mode of allocation is Static and a value of 1 if the mode of allocation is Dynamic. This table lists thestack-unit number, port number and priority group number.
dellNetPfcPerPrioTable
This table fetches the number of PFC frames transmitted (PFC Requests) and the number of PFC frames received (PFC Indications) per priority on a per port basis. This table lists the stack-unit index, port number and priority.
