Parameters pir — defines the constraints enforced when adapting the PIR rate defined within the 
queue queue-id rate command. The pir parameter requires a qualifier that defines 
the constraint used when deriving the operational PIR for the queue. When the rate 
command is not specified, the default applies.
cir — defines the constraints enforced when adapting the CIR rate defined within the 
queue queue-id rate command. The cir parameter requires a qualifier that defines 
the constraint used when deriving the operational CIR for the queue. When the cir 
parameter is not specified, the default constraint applies.
adaptation-rule — specifies the adaptation rule to be used while computing the 
operational CIR or PIR value. The max (maximum), min (minimum), and closest 
parameters are mutually exclusive.
Values max — causes the network processor to be programmed at an 
operational rate that is less than the configured PIR or CIR rate by 
up to 1.0%. For a network processor on a Gen-3 adapter card or 
platform, the average difference between the operational and the 
configured CIR rate is 2.0% (for frame sizes less than 2049 bytes) 
or 4.0% (for other frame sizes).
min — causes the network processor to be programmed at an 
operational rate that is greater than the configured PIR or CIR rate 
by up to 1.0%. For a network processor on a Gen-3 adapter card or 
platform, the average difference between the operational and the 
configured CIR rate is 2.0% (for frame sizes less than 2049 bytes) 
or 4.0% (for other frame sizes).
closest — causes the network processor to be programmed at an 
operational rate that is closest to the configured PIR or CIR rate
cbs
Syntax cbs percent
no cbs
Context config>qos>network-queue>queue
Description This command specifies the relative amount of reserved buffers for a specific ingress network 
adapter card forwarding class queue or egress network port forwarding class queue. The 
value is entered as a percentage. The resultant CBS size can be larger than the MBS. This 
will result in a portion of the CBS for the queue to be unused and therefore should be avoided.
The no form of this command returns the CBS size for the queue to the default for the 
forwarding class.
Default Table 39 lists the cbs forwarding class defaults.
