serviced first. Afterward, bandwidth allocated to other priority groups is made available and allocated
according to the specified percentages. If a priority group does not use its allocated bandwidth, the
unused bandwidth is made available to other priority groups.
Restriction: You can enable PFC on a maximum of two priority queues.
Repeat this step to configure PFC and ETS traffic handling for each priority group, for example:
priority-group 0 bandwidth 60 pfc off priority-group 1 bandwidth 20 pfc
onpriority-group 2 bandwidth 20 pfc on priority-group 4 strict-priority pfc off
DCB MAP mode
priority-group group_num {bandwidth percentage | strict-priority} pfc {on | off}
3 Specify the priority group ID number to handle VLAN traffic for each dot1p class-of-service: 0 through 7.
Leave a space between each priority group number. For example, priority-pgid 0 0 0 1 2 4 4 4
where dot1p priorities 0, 1, and 2 are mapped to priority group 0; dot1p priority 3 is mapped to priority
group 1; dot1p priority 4 is mapped to priority group 2; dot1p priorities 5, 6, and 7 are mapped to priority
group 4.
All priorities that map to the same egress queue must be in the same priority group.

Important Points to Remember
• If you remove a dot1p priority-to-priority group mapping from a DCB map (no priority pgid
command), the PFC and ETS parameters revert to their default values on the interfaces on which the
DCB map is applied. By default, PFC is not applied on specific 802.1p priorities; ETS assigns equal
bandwidth to each 802.1p priority.
As a result, PFC and lossless port queues are disabled on 802.1p priorities, and all priorities are mapped
to the same priority queue and equally share port bandwidth.
• To change the ETS bandwidth allocation configured for a priority group in a DCB map, do not modify
the existing DCB map configuration. Instead, create a new DCB map with the desired PFC and ETS
settings, and apply the new map to the interfaces to override the previous DCB map settings. Then,
delete the original dot1p priority-to-priority group mapping.
If you delete the dot1p priority-to-priority group mapping (no priority pgid command) before you
apply the new DCB map, the default PFC and ETS parameters are applied on the interfaces. This change
may create a DCB mismatch with peer DCB devices and interrupt the network operation.
Applying a DCB Map on Server-facing Ethernet Ports
You can apply a DCB map only on a physical Ethernet interface and can apply only one DCB map per
interface.
1 Enter CONFIGURATION mode on a server-facing port or port channel to apply a DCB map.
