Need command to increase output queue on GigaEthernet Port

[rlortiz]

I have a site with GigaEthernet ports on a Cat 4006. I need to increase the output queue buffer from its default of 40. How can I do this?

sh int g4/4

GigabitEthernet4/4 is up, line protocol is up (connected)

Queueing strategy: fifo

Output queue: 0/40 (size/max)

I am running IOS (tm) Catalyst 4000 L3 Switch Software (cat4000-I5K91S-M), Version 12.2(20)EW, EARLY DEPLOYMENT RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

interface GigabitEthernet4/4

Hi,

Use the command 'hold-queue 100 out' under the interface to change it to 100.

Paresh,

It looks like hold-queue is not a valid command under the interf g4/4.

(config)#int g4/4

(config-if)#?

Hi,

Have you tried using the tx-queue command ?

I did some research on tx-queue and it doesn't look like this affects the output queue. However, I will see if my remote site can try it.
