Queue 5 — Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR)
If calls of a particular service class are being dropped on a particular port, use the
set porttrafficcongestion
command to raise the port’s queue Min threshold.
For example, to change both the Min and Max amounts of buffer space used for CBR calls on port
7a3, first enter the
show porttrafficcongestion command to determine the current minimum threshold level:
Smart6500 # show porttrafficcongestion
PortNumber(ALL) : 7a3

CBR on port 7a3 is currently using 64 (MinIndex 10) as its minimum threshold. Use the show minmax command to
