Hi,
We have a Mellanox SX6036 switch with ethernet support. Currently, we want to increase the receiving buffer of ports by tuning Xon/Xoff threshold. Some guides in internet metioned "ingress-buffer" and "egress-buffer" commands, but it seems that SX6036 does not have these commands. The switch info:

Edit: In MLNX-OS manual, many sections are specific to spectrum-based switch. Does it mean SwitchX serial switches doesn't support config Xon/Xoff threshold?
