Configuration Commands
buffer pools. When not enabled, the system will create default ingress and egress pools per port.
When enabled, the system will not create per port pools, instead a default network and access pool is
created for ingress and egress and is shared by queues on all ports.
The named pool mode may be enabled and disabled at anytime. Care should be taken when changing
the pool mode for an IOM as the process of changing to or from named pool mode causes an IOM
reset if MDAs are currently provisioned on the slot. If MDAs have not been provisioned at the time
the named-pool-mode or no named-pool-mode command is executed, the IOM is not reset (for
example, when the system is booting, the named pool mode command does not reset the IOM since
the mode is set prior to provisioning the IOM's MDAs).
This command is not enabled for the ISA-AA MDA.
The no form of the command converts the pool mode on the IOM card to the default mode. If MDAs
are currently provisioned on the IOM, the card is reset.
