RoCE Commands

roce [< lossy | semi-lossless | lossless >]

[no] roce

Configures the switch to RoCE mode.

The no form of the command disables RoCE mode.

Syntax Description

Lossless

Full PFC support (this is the default when no parameter is chosen).

Semi-lossless

Micro-burst absorption (pause rx compliant, no pause propagation).

Lossy

Congestion control based on ECN marking only. No PFC support.

Default

N/A

Configuration Mode

config

History

3.8.2000

Example

switch (config) # roce <mode>

switch (config) # no roce
switch (config) # show roce

RoCE mode: N/A

switch (config) #

Related Commands

Notes

  • Configuring RoCE without specifying a mode will configure RoCE with lossless mode.

  • Changing RoCE mode may cause interfaces toggling and, consequently, a momentary loss of data.

Notes

Interface-related properties (such as ETS, QoS, TC mapping) represent expected values for RoCE. For the state of a specific interface, please use relevant interface show command.
