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

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       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

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

PARAMETERS

       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

       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

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