Buffer allocation on a 3750

[Jad KAROUT]

Hi guys,

A question that pertains to the 3750 : regarding unused interfaces or even shutdown interfaces is there any buffer allocated / reserved for such interfaces ?

If I recall correctly, independently from the queue-set settings, each queue of an interface will be reserved at least 16 buffers. However if the interface is not used (not even configured) or if the interface is actually shut down, does such allocation still hold ? Or will the said buffers be returned to the common buffer pool ?

Thanks for any input.

I've wondered the same, but I haven't found any documentation to says one way or the other.
