DCB-MAXRATE(8)                    Linux                    DCB-MAXRATE(8)

NAME         top

       dcb-maxrate - show / manipulate port maxrate settings of the DCB
       (Data Center Bridging) subsystem

SYNOPSIS         top

       dcb [ OPTIONS ] maxrate { COMMAND | help }

       dcb maxrate show dev DEV [ tc-maxrate ]

       dcb maxrate set dev DEV [ tc-maxrate RATE-MAP ]

       RATE-MAP := [ RATE-MAP ] RATE-MAPPING

       RATE-MAPPING := { TC | all }:RATE

       TC := { 0 .. 7 }

       RATE := { INTEGER[bit] | INTEGERKbit | INTEGERMib | ... }

DESCRIPTION         top

       dcb maxrate is used to configure and inspect maximum rate at which
       traffic is allowed to egress from a given traffic class.

PARAMETERS         top

       The following describes only the write direction, i.e. as used
       with the set command. For the show command, the parameter name is
       to be used as a simple keyword without further arguments. This
       instructs the tool to show the value of a given parameter. When no
       parameters are given, the tool shows the complete maxrate
       configuration.

       tc-maxrate RATE-MAP
              RATE-MAP uses the array parameter syntax, see dcb(8) for
              details. Keys are TC indices, values are traffic rates in
              bits per second.  The rates can use the notation documented
              in section PARAMETERS at tc(8).  Note that under that
              notation, "bit" stands for bits per second whereas "b"
              stands for bytes per second. When showing, the command line
              option -i toggles between using decadic and ISO/IEC
              prefixes.

EXAMPLE & USAGE         top

       Set rates of all traffic classes to 25Gbps, except for TC 6, which
       will have the rate of 100Gbps:

       # dcb maxrate set dev eth0 tc-maxrate all:25Gbit 6:100Gbit

       Show what was set:

       # dcb maxrate show dev eth0
       tc-maxrate 0:25Gbit 1:25Gbit 2:25Gbit 3:25Gbit 4:25Gbit 5:25Gbit
       6:100Gbit 7:25Gbit

EXIT STATUS         top

       Exit status is 0 if command was successful or a positive integer
       upon failure.
